Answer:
the slope is 1/2
Work:
if the x-coordinate is two times the y-coordinate, that means you are going up one over two each time
slope= y2-y1/x2-x1
so you can pick two points, like (2, 1) and (4,2) and use the formula
slope= 2-1/4-2= 1/2
Answer:
No correlation
Step-by-step explanation:
There is not a positive line of dots
There is not a negative line of dots
so that means there is no correlation
the mean can be misleading, because there outlier (77), which is not close to the ages of the others, thereby changing the mean drastically.
hope this helps
Answer: C) Sometimes positive; sometimes negative
============================================================
Explanation:
Pick a value between x = -1 and x = 0. Let's say we go for x = -0.5
Plug this into f(x)
f(x) = x(x+3)(x+1)(x-4)
f(-0.5) = -0.5(-0.5+3)(-0.5+1)(-0.5-4)
f(-0.5) = -0.5(2.5)(0.5)(-4.5)
f(-0.5) = 2.8125
We get a positive value.
This shows that f(x) is positive on the region of -1 < x < 0
----------------
Now pick a value between x = 0 and x = 4. I'll use x = 1
f(x) = x(x+3)(x+1)(x-4)
f(1) = 1(1+3)(1+1)(1-4)
f(1) = 1(4)(2)(-3)
f(1) = -24
Therefore, f(x) is negative on the interval 0 < x < 4
----------------
In short, f(x) is both positive and negative on the interval -1 < x < 4
It's positive when -1 < x < 0
And it's negative when 0 < x < 4
