The graph below shows the relationship between the number of months different students practiced tennis and the number of matche

s they won:
Part A: What is the approximate y-intercept of the line of best fit and what does it represent?

Part B: Write the equation for the line of best fit in the slope-intercept form and use it to predict the number of matches that could be won after 13 months of practice. Show your work and include the points used to calculate the slope.

Answer:

Part A : y-intercept is approximately 3.25

Part B : equation of the line is

y=\frac{7}{4}x+\frac{13}{4}

Slope is \frac{7}{4}

The number of matches would be 26 after 13 months of practice.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the given diagram,

The line is passes through the points (1, 5) and (5,12),

∵ equation of a line passes through the point (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is,

y-y_1=\frac{x_2-x_1}{y_2-y_1}(x-x_1)

Thus, the equation of the line would be,

y-5=\frac{12-5}{5-1}(x-1)

y-5=\frac{7}{4}(x-1)

y-5=\frac{7x}{4}-\frac{7}{4}

y=\frac{7}{4}x-\frac{7}{4}+5\implies y=\frac{7x}{4}+\frac{13}{4}

Part A : Now, if x = 0,

\implies y=\frac{13}{4}\approx 3.25

Hence, the y-intercept of the line would be approx 3.25,

Part B:

The slope intercept form of a line is,

y = mx + c

Where, m is the slope,

Hence, the slope intercept form of the line is,

y=\frac{7}{4}x+\frac{13}{4}

Having slope \frac{7}{4}

If x = 13,

y=\frac{7}{4}(13)+\frac{13}{4}= \frac{91}{4}+\frac{13}{4}=\frac{104}{4}=26

Therefore, the number of matches would be 26 after 13 months of practice.

Does the point (9.5, 144) make sense in this context? Explain
Stolb23 [73]
No, (9.5, 144) does not make sense because there is no point of 9.5 and when you divide the ounces of water by the flavoring packets you end up with 12, and if you were to simplify that it would end up with 1 flavor packet and 12 ounces of water.

London was offered a job that paid a salary of \$93,000$93,000 in its first year. The salary was set to increase by 2% per year
Tema [17]

Answer: Amount = $143776

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that London was offered a job that paid a salary of $93,000 in its first year. The salary was set to increase by 2% per year every year.

Let P = 93000

Rate R = 2%

The amount of salary he will receive after 22 years can be calculated by using exponential equation

A = P(1 + 2%)^t

Where t = 22 years

A = 93000(1.02)^22

A = 93000 × 1.545979

A = 143776.11 dollars
