Answer:

Part 1

The mistake is Step 2: P + 2·x = 2·y

Part 2

The correct answer is

Step 2 correction: P - 2·x = 2·y

(P - 2·x)/2 = y

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

The student's steps are;

Step 1; P = 2·x + 2·y

Step 2: P + 2·x = 2·y

Step 3: P + 2·x/2 = y

The mistake in the work is in Step 2

The mistake is moving 2·x to the left hand side of the equation by adding 2·x to <em>P </em>to get; P + 2·x = 2·y

Part 2

To correct method to move 2·x to the left hand side of the equation, leaving only 2·y on the right hand side is to subtract 2·x from both sides of the equation as follows;

Step 2 correction: P - 2·x = 2·x + 2·y - 2·x = 2·x - 2·x + 2·y = 2·y

∴ P - 2·x = 2·y

(P - 2·x)/2 = y

y = (P - 2·x)/2

Katyanochek1 [597]
In the points on the scatter-plot are close together and resemble a line. If you cannot see a line, that means there is not correlation. A line going down is negative correlation, and a line going up is positive correlation.
