Answer:

A. A

Step-by-step explanation:

In a scatter plot, the value of correlation coefficient is represented by values between -1 to 1. The closer any value of correlation coefficient is to "0", the farther the data points on a scatter plot are from the line of best fit.

Invariably, considering the scatter plot shown in the graph above, the point that will MOST DECREASE the value of correlation coefficient is point A. This is because, if point A is added in the scatter plot, it will cause the value of correlation coefficient to be closer to 0, as point A is the farthest from the line of best fit compared to other points. This will make the data points more spread out and less clustered along the line of best fit.

I need to complete the equation of the line through (3 -1) and (4 7). I am really stumped on this topic, please explain the proc
Nana76 [90]

Assuming you want the equation in slope intercept form, you first need to use slope formula to find the slope.

\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Plug in the coordinates that you have, (3,-1) and (4,7), for the x and y values respectively.

\frac{-1-7}{3-4}

Which reduces to 8/1=8.

The slope of your equation is 8.

Slope intercept form is: y=mx+b. m is your slope and b is your y-intercept, x and y stay unchanged.

Plug the slope in:

y=8x+b.

Now, you can plug one of the sets of coordinates into the x and y of the equation to find b. I'm using (3,-1).

-1=8(3)+b

-1=24+b

Subtract 24 from both sides.

-25=b

Now plug this into the equation!

y=8x-25 is your final equation.

I hope this helps :)

The weight of an object on the moon is
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

40 2/5Ibs or 40\frac{2}{5} lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let weight of object on the moon be represented = Wm

weight of object on the Earth = We

In the above question, we are told:

The weight of an object on the moon is

5 of its weight on Earth.

Hence, mathematically, this is represented as:

 5Wm = We

If a moon rock weighs 202 lbs on Earth

5Wm = 202lbs

Wm = 202lbs/5

Wm = 40\frac{2}{5}Ibs

Therefore, the moon rock weighs 40\frac{2}{5}Ibs on the moon.
