Step-by-step  Explanation:

Part A: Algebraically write the equation of the best fit line in slope-intercept form. Include all of your calculations in your final answer.

Considering the data

Age (in years)                Weight (in pounds)

2                                                32

6                                                 47

7                                                 51

4                                                 40

5                                                 43

3                                                 38

8                                                 60

1                                                  23

Considering the slope intercept form

y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Taking two points, lets say (2, 32) and (8, 60)

as

\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(2,\:32\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(8,\:60\right)

m=\frac{60-32}{8-2}

m=\frac{14}{3}

so

y = mx + b

\:\:32\:=\:\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)2\:+\:b

\mathrm{Switch\:sides}

\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)\cdot \:2+b=32

b=\frac{68}{3}

Thus

y = mx + b

as

m=\frac{14}{3} and b=\frac{68}{3}

substituting in the slop-intercept form

y=\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)x+\left(\frac{68}{3}\right)

Therefore, y=\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)x+\left(\frac{68}{3}\right) is the equation of the best fit line in slope-intercept form.

Part B: Use the equation for the line of best fit to approximate the weight of the little girl at an age of 14 years old.

As the equation of line is

y=\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)x+\left(\frac{68}{3}\right)

So in order to find the weight of the little girl at an age of 14 years old, put

x = 14 in the above equation.

as

y=\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)x+\left(\frac{68}{3}\right)

y=\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)\left(14\right)+\left(\frac{68}{3}\right)          ∵  x = 14

\:y=88

Therefore, the approximate weight of the little girl at an age of 14 years old will be 88 pounds.

Describe how to compare the two ratios 5:8 to 7:9. Tell each step to set up the ratios, then explain what to do to be able to co
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

5/8 is smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio is just a different type of fraction, a 5:8 ratio means 5/8 which is 0.625. A 7:9 ratio equals 7/9 which is 0.777777

Then to compare them you see which is smaller or bigger.

0.77777  is bigger than 0.625 so we know that 0.77777777 which was the 7:9 ratio is the bigger one.

Consider these scenarios. 1. A piano weighs 5.5 × 102 units.   2. A grain of salt weighs 1.02 × 10-3 units.   3. A tractor trail
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

1) pounds

2) grams

3) tons

Step-by-step explanation:

The suitable measurements for the scenarios are:

1) A piano weighs 5.5 × 10² units

  550 Ib (pounds)

2) A grain of salt weighs 1.02 × 10^-3  units

    0.00102 grams

3) A tractor trailer weighs 8.8 × 10^1 units

    88 ton

   

10²g = 1kg

10^-3g = miligrams

10^1 g = decagram

Find the area of the region shaded in green. Use 3.14 to approximate pi.
8090 [49]

Answer:

254 cm² (to 3 s.f.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of shaded region

= area of large circle -area of smaller circle

\boxed{area \: of \: circle = \pi {r}^{2} }

Radius of large circle= 15cm

Radius of smaller circle= 12cm

Area of shaded region

= π(15²) -π(12²)

= 225π -144π

= 81π

= 81(3.14)

= 254.34

= 254 cm² (3 s.f.)
