The best choice would probably be C. We know the y-intercept is higher than 46 and that the slope is negative. That leaves us with choice A and C. We can eliminate A because when using the slope formula, the answer is closer to 2 than 3. However, even though it's most likely C, I would check first.

Answer:

Option C is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the straight line equation i.e, we must be given with the two points \left (x_{1},y_{1} \right ) and \left (x_{2},y_{2}\right )

Since from the graph the two points closest to the line are\left ( 10,36 \right ) and \left ( 22,12 \right ).

Equation of line with two points closest to the line :

                                                    y-y_{1}=m\cdot \left ( x-x_{1} \right )

where m is the slope.

First we find the slope(m)=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}  

m=\frac{12-36}{22-10}

on simplify we get,  m=-2.

Now, to find  the equation of the line:  y-y_{1}=m\cdot \left ( x-x_{1} \right )

y-36=\left ( -2 \right )\cdot \left ( x-10 \right )

Apply distributive property on right hand side, we get

y-36=-2\cdot x+20

Adding both sides by 36, we get

y=-2x+20+36

y=-2x+56.

The equation for the linear  model in the scatter plot obtained by the two closest point \left ( 10,36 \right ) and \left ( 22,12 \right ) closest to the line is,

y=-2x+56

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Volume is length x width x height. So it depends on the labeled sides. Maybe define what is length and width and height OR multiply all is your instructions call for it.
