Steps
Step 1: For each (x,y) point calculate x2 and xy.
Step 2: Sum all x, y, x2 and xy, which gives us Σx, Σy, Σx2 and Σxy (Σ means "sum up")
Step 3: Calculate Slope m:
m = N Σ(xy) − Σx Σy N Σ(x2) − (Σx)2
Step 4: Calculate Intercept b:
b = Σy − m Σx N.
Step 5: Assemble the equation of a line.
You need to use basic algebra for this.
For this I’ll use o as the items and p for the payment. First you need to find out how long it took for all the items to scan, so if it took each item 2 seconds to be scanned you need to times the total number of items (o) by two e.g. o x 2 = 62 items times two seconds which is equivalent to 62 seconds (1.02 minutes) after this step you need to minus the total time it took to scan the items for the transaction time (2 minutes) e.g. 2.00 - 1.02 = 2.58 minutes.
Hope this helped :)
63 miles in 270 minutes will mean that nolan rides his bike at a distance of 63/270 miles in one minute.
there are 60 minutes in an hour. So to find out the distance he covers in 1 hour, 63/270 × 60 will give you 14 miles.
Since the question is asking for the average speed, nolan rides his bike at 14 miles per hour i think.
