The scatterplot shown includes the (blue) least-squares regression line, whose equation is y = .975 + .005x, where y is calories (in thousands) and x is years after 1960. Choose the correct statement.
Answer: In the given regression equation, the calories are in thousands. Therefore, the slope 0.005 (0.005 x 1000 =5 calories) means the consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year.
Hence the option a. Consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year. is correct
Answer:
The equation that represents the graph is y = 40x
The new equation would be y = 45x
Step-by-step explanation:
As y increases by 40, x increases by 1, so 40/1, or 40
New equation: $90 per 2 months, y = 90, x = 2, 90/2 = 45
Answer:
42 gallons 45% antifreeze
28 gallons 95% antifreeze
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is volume of 45% antifreeze, and y is volume of 95% antifreeze, then the total volume is:
x + y = 70
And the total amount of antifreeze is:
0.45 x + 0.95 y = 0.65 (70)
Solving by substitution:
0.45 x + 0.95 (70 − x) = 0.65 (70)
0.45 x + 66.5 − 0.95 x = 45.5
21 = 0.5 x
x = 42
y = 28
The 1st Option Is A Function
They would make a profit of $187.50
