Distribute: -24x - 12 = -144x - 120

Add 12 to both sides: -24x = -144x - 108

Add 144x to both sides: 120x = -108

Divide by 120 on both sides: x = -0.9

Answer:

$x=-\frac{9}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply Distributive Property: $-24x-12=-144x-120$

Make equation = to x by adding 12 to both sides, adding 144x to both sides, and simplifying.

You should then get the equation: $120x=-108$

From here you divide 120 from both sides, and you should then get your answer.

Hope this helps!!

What is the equation of the best-fitting regression line? Find this in two ways. First, using the regression analysis part of th

Lemur [1.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Regression analysis is used to infer about the relationship between two or more variables.

The line of best fit is a straight line representing the regression equation on a scatter plot. The may pass through either some point or all points or none of the points.

Method 1:

Using regression analysis the line of best fit is: $y=\alpha +\beta x+e$

Here α = intercept, β = slope and e = error.

The formula to compute the intercept is:

$\alpha =\bar y-\beta \bar x$

Here $\bar y$ and $\bar x$ are mean of the y and x values respectively.

$\bar y=\frac{\sum y_{i}}{n} \\\bar x=\frac{\sum x_{i}}{n}$

The formula to compute the slope is:

$\beta =\frac{\sum (x-\bar x)(y - \bar y)}{\sum (x=\bar x)^{2}}$

And the formula to compute the error is:

$e=y-\alpha -\beta x$

Method 2:

The regression line can be determined using the descriptive statistics mean, standard deviation and correlation.

The equation of the line of best fit is:

$(y-\bar y)=r\frac{\sigma_{x}}{\sigma_{y}} (x-\bar x)$

Here r = correlation coefficient = $r=\frac{Cov (x,y)}{\sqrt{\sigma^{2}_{x}\sigma^{2}_{y}} }$

$\sigma_{x}$ and $\sigma_{y}$ are standard deviation of x and y respectively.

$\sigma_{x}=\frac{1}{n}\sum (x-\bar x)^{2} \\\sigma_{y}=\frac{1}{n}\sum (y-\bar y)^{2}$
