Answer:
Negative
Step-by-step explanation:
From the scatter plot displayed, we could clearly observe the direction of the trend line as it produces a negative slope. For high values of y, the values of x are low and similarly, high values of x have low y values. Therefore, this kind of relationship between the two variables is considered negative.
Y=2x^3 is nonlinear, since it's a cube equation. y=x+5 is linear, because it's a line with y intercept (0,-5) and slope 1. y=\sqrt(x-5) is nonlinear, because it's a quadratic equation when reversing x and y. 5x+5y=25 is equal to x+y=5 ot y=-x+5, which is also linear. y=x^2/2 is a quadratic equation, so it's nonlinear.
8 - 2x + 6 = 24
(8 + 6) - 2x = 24
14 - 2x = 24 <em>subtract 14 from both sides</em>
-2x = 10 <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>
<h3>
x = -5</h3>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Coordinates of Point b
b lies on the circle whose equation is 

Comparing with the general form a circle with center at the origin: 
The radius of the circle =17 which is the length of the hypotenuse of the terminal ray through point b.
For an angle drawn in standard position through point b,
x=-8 which is negative
y=15 which is positive
Therefore, the angle is in Quadrant II.
