Trey believes there is a correlation between the number of texts sent during class and GPA. He collected data and found that the

line of best fit for his data can be modeled by the equation y = 3.8 − 0.4x.
Identify and interpret the slope in this scenario.

The slope is −0.4. Starting at 3.8, the GPA will decrease by 0.4 for every text sent in class.

The slope is 0.4. Starting at 3.8, the GPA will increase by 0.4 for every text sent in class.

Answer: First Option

The slope is −0.4. Starting at 3.8, the GPA will decrease by 0.4 for every text sent in class.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line has the following form

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept with the axis of the y

In this case, the equation is:

y = 3.8 - 0.4x\\\\y=-0.4x+3.8

Observe that

m = -0.4\\b = 3.8

So if x represents the number of texts sent during classes, this means that x\geq 0

When x increases by one unit then y decreases -0.4. For example when x=1 then y=3.8-0.4=3.4

Then the greatest value it can take the GPA is 3.8. Therefore we can say that the function starts at y = 3.8.

The answer is the first option

The length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 8. a. Find the perimeter of the triangle.​
meriva

we know is a right triangle, so one angle must be 90°, we also know is an isosceles, that means it has twin sides, and we also know that the hypotenuse or slanted side is 8, so the triangle must be a 45-45-90 triangle,  Check the picture below.

A square Box lid has an area of 40 Square inches Which is the best estimate Of the length of one side.
3241004551 [841]
Area is L x W and being a square, the length and width would have to be the same, so L x W = 40 and the answer would be the best estimate and while 6.5 is 42.25, it’s not as close as 6.3 39.69


The answer is B-6.3
