You buy the same number of brushes, rollers and paint cans. Write an expression in simples form that represents the total amount

jeyben [28]

T= 21.79x + 3.99x + 6.89x where t is the total cost and x is the number of brushes/rollers/paint cans you buy. You don't need a different variable for each item because you buy the same amount of each.

What is the equation of the line of the best fit for the following data? Round to the slope and y-intercept of the line to three

BigorU [14]

Answer:

D. $y=-0.927x+13.634$

Step-by-step explanation:

We graph the points on the graph. The graph is attached.

Let us take two points (1, 14) and (15, 1), and calculate the slope $m$ between them <em>(we choose these points because the line passing through them will be the best fit for all points) </em>

$m=\frac{14-1}{1-15} =\frac{13}{-14} =-0.9286$

Thus we have the equation

$y=-0.9286x+b$

Let us now calculate $b$ from the point $(1,14)$

$14=-0.9286(1)+b$

$b=14.9286$

So the equation we get is

$y=-0.9286x+14.9286$

Let us now turn to the choices given and see which choice is closest to our equation: we see that choice D. $y=-0.927x+13.634$ is the closest one, so we pick it.
