Question:

Find the constant of proportionality k. Then write an equation for the relationship between x and y

\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {2} & {4} & {6} & {8} \ \\ y & {10} & {20} & {30} & {40} \ \ \end{array}

Answer:

(a) k = 5

(b) y = 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {2} & {4} & {6} & {8} \ \\ y & {10} & {20} & {30} & {40} \ \ \end{array}

Solving (a): The constant of proportionality:

Pick any two corresponding x and y values

(x_1,y_1) = (2,10)

(x_2,y_2) = (6,30)

The constant of proportionality k is:

k = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

k = \frac{30-10}{6-2}

k = \frac{20}{4}

k = 5

Solving (b): The equation

In (a), we have:

(x_1,y_1) = (2,10)

k can also be expressed as:

k = \frac{y- y_1}{x- x_1}

Substitute values for x1, y1 and k

5 = \frac{y- 10}{x- 2}

Cross multiply:

y - 10 = 5(x - 2)

Open bracket

y - 10 = 5x - 10

Add 10 to both sides

y - 10 +10= 5x - 10+10

y = 5x

I need help with linear regression ​
frutty [35]

Answer:

<em>In statistics, linear regression is a linear approach to modelling the relationship between a scalar response (or dependent variable) and one or more explanatory variables (or independent variables). The case of one explanatory variable is called simple linear regression. For more than one explanatory variable, the process is called multiple linear regression. This term is distinct from multivariate linear regression, where multiple correlated dependent variables are predicted, rather than a single scalar variable.</em>
