Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have a Ti-84 series calculator, press "stat" then "Edit..." and then fill in the data table values for x and y in two lists. Then press "2nd" and "mode" to quit. Now press "stat" again and right arrow over to "calc" and press down until you find "ExpReg" and set the "Xlist" and "Ylist" that you used and you will get C as the answer. Another way to do this is to manually substitute values into all 4 equations, which is boring.
The answer is simply all you do is subtract 72 from 97 and you'll have the answer which is 25, so the temperature decreased by 25 degrees
The answer is a) -20 you can go and rule out d.e,f
The find the equation of a line in any form, you will have to find out the slope first:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(48-12)/(32-34)=-18
the simplified form is the slope-intercept form, so next we need to find the y intercept,
y=mx+b =>y=-18x+b
Use any of the two given points to find out b: 12=-18(34)+b =>b=624
so the equation is: y=-18x +624
Please double check the calculation by yourself
