Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

y = home runs

x = hits

[Best Line of Fit] y = 0.15x - 1.5

We can use this to predict the average of the scatter plot.

home runs = y = 30

Step 2: Solve for x hits

Substitute [BLF]: 30 = 0.15x - 1.5
Add 1.5 to both sides: 31.5 = 0.15x
Divide 0.15 on both sides: 210 = x
Rewrite: x = 210

Remember that this is a prediction. According to the best line of fit, we would need 210 hits to get 30 home runs.

Answer:

D(4 units right, 2 up)

Step-by-step explanation:

You must pick a point which does not have an apostrophe. Then you see how which direction is goes (e.g left or right) and then you see the height (up and down) and combining all this the answer would be 4 units right, 2 up

A circular cake with a radius of 8 inches is cut from the center into 6 equal pieces. How many inches wide, to the nearest tenth

aalyn [17]

Answer: 8.4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the circumference of a circle can be calculated with this formula:

$C=2\pi r$

Where "r" is the radius of the circle.

We know that the circular cake (whose radius is 8 inches) is cut from the center into 6 equal pieces. Then, you need to divide the circumference of this circular cake by 6 to find the width of the outer edge of each piece of cake.

Therefore, this is (to the nearest tenth of an inch):

$C=\frac{2\pi (8in)}{6}\\\\C=8.4in$
