The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

A cell phone company is interested in the relationship between the number of texts per minute for their customers (y) and customer age. Based on the data collected, the least-squares regression line is $y=3.27+2.14x$ , where x is the number of years by which age exceeds 12. Which of the following statements best describes the meaning of the slope of the least-squares regression line?

a. For each increase in age of 1 year, the estimated number of texts per minute increases by 3.27.

b. For each increase in age of 1 year, the estimated number of texts per minute increases by 2.14.

c. For each increase of one text per minute, there is an estimated increase in age of 3.27 years.

d. For each increase of one text per minute, there is an estimated increase in age of 2.14 years.

e. The slope has no meaning because the units of measure for x and y are not the same.

Answer: b. For each increase in age of 1 year, the estimated number of texts per minute increases by 2.14.

Step-by-step explanation: The least-squares regression is a method of fitness, i.e., it fits a data set of number into an equation.

In this case, the relationship between number of texts per minute and customer age is given by a line equation:

$y=3.27+2.14x$

in which, y represents the number of texts per minute and x is the age.

In a line equation, slope is the measure of steepness, i.e., how inclined the line is.

In the least squares regression line, slope is 2.14 and it means, in each additional year, the number of texts increase by a factor of 2.14, which is the correct alternative.

Graph the system of linear inequalities, please explain the process in solving this problem so I know how to do ones similar to

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

See attached. (Both inequalities graph to the same region.)

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph an inequality, you first replace the inequality symbol by an equal sign. Then you graph the line (or curve) described by the equation. If the inequality symbol includes the "or equal to" case, then the line (or curve) is solid and is part of the solution set. If not, then the line (or curve) is dashed and is not part of the solution set.

Here, the line x+y=5, will bound the solution set, but is not part of it.

Note that the line -x -y = -5 (from the second inequality) is the same ilne.

_____

After you have graphed the boundary of the solution region, you need to determine which side of the boundary has the solutions. I find it easy to do this by locating an x- or y-term with a positive coefficient and seeing which side of the inequality symbol that lies on. Here, both the x-term and the y-term lie on the "is greater than" side of the symbol, so the half-plane is shaded above and to the right of the line, where x- and y-values are greater than they are on the line.

In the second inequality, you can multiply the whole thing by -1 to get

... x + y > 5 . . . . same as the first inequality

or you can add (x+y) to both sides to get

... 0 < -5 +x +y

Once again, the x- and y-values that satisfy this are greater than those that are on the boundary line.

_____

The graph seems to show only one equation. Both are there, but the dashed blue line sits on top of the dashed red line, so you can't see it. The purple shading indicates both red and blue shading in the same area.

===== =====

Of course you graph the boundary line the way you would any linear equation. In this form, it is not too difficult to see that both the x- and y-intercepts are 5. (When x=0, y=5; and when y=0, x=5 for the boundary line's equation x+y=5.) Draw the dotted line through these intercept points, add shading above, and you have your graph.
