Use technology to find the line of best fit for the following data.
1 answer:
Given:
The data points are:
(1, 0), (2, 3), (3,1), (4,4), (5,5)
To find:
The equation of best fit line in the form of and then find the value of b.
Solution:
The general form of best fit line is:
...(i)
Where, m is the slope of best fit line and b is the y-intercept of the line.
Using the graphing calculator, we get the equation for the best fit line and the equation is
...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get
Therefore, the value of b is equal to -0.7.

Answer:
21 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Call the triangle ABC, with the right angle at B, the hypotenuse AC=25, and the given leg AB=10. The altitude to the hypotenuse can be BD. Since the "other leg" is BC, we believe the question is asking for the length of DC.
The right triangles formed by the altitude are all similar to the original. That means ...
AD/AB = AB/AC . . . . . . ratio of short side to hypotenuse is a constant
Multiplying by AB and substituting the given numbers, we get ...
AD = AB²/AC = 10²/25
AD = 4
Then the segment DC is ...
DC = AC -AD = 25 -4
DC = 21 . . . . . centimeters
