You research the average cost of a tank of gasoline for a certain type of car for several recent years to look for trends. The t

able shows your data. What is the equation for a line of best fit? How much would you expect to pay for a tank of gas in the year 2019?
Note: The table below shows the average cost for one tank of gasoline, not one gallon.


y = 1.006x + 26.40; $47.52
y = 1.006x + 26.40; $58.92
y = 26.40x + 1.006; $47.52
y = 26.40x + 1.006; $58.92

Because the initial value is $26.40, the line must pass through this when x is 0. Thus, the answer is either the first or the second equation.
Next, we calculate the difference between the year 2019 and 1998 and substitute it into the value of x.
2019 - 1998 = 21.
Substituting this into the equation:
y = 1.006(21) + 26.40
y = $47.52

Thus, the first option is correct.

Dan says that all quadrilaterals are parallelograms. Tom says that it is not true. Explain who is correct??
sineoko [7]
Tom is correct, and Dan is wrong. A quadrilateral is a closed figure with four sides, for example, like a kite. A parallelogram is a four sided rectangular figure with opposite sides that are parallel.

Answer:

H. 2 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

  • DATE                         >> WATER LEVEL CHANGE (inches)
  • August 25                  >>  -0.75
  • September 8              >>  -1 3/ 8
  • September 22            >>  2.5
  • October 6                    >>  -1/2
  • October 20                 >>  1 7/8

<u>Total change:</u>

  • 1 7/8 - (-0.75) =
  • 1+ 7/8 + 3/4 =
  • 1 + 7/8 + 6/8 =
  • 1 + 13/8 =
  • 1+ 1 5/8 =
  • 2 5/8

The closest answer option is H. 2 3/4
