Answer:
The correct option is;
The situation shows correlation without causation
Step-by-step explanation:
The given data are;
Weight y Miles Per Gallon
42 18
36 12
30 6
. x
24 0
The first difference of the data = 42 - 36 = 36 - 30 = 30 - 24 = 6
18 - 12 = 12 - 6 = 6 - 0 = 6
The first difference of the data is constant and equal to 6
Therefore, the graph is a straight line graph with y-intercept = 24 and slope given by the rate of change of the weight to the miles per gallon of fuel consumption as follows;
The rate of change of the weight to the miles per gallon of fuel consumption is given as follows;
(42 - 24)/(18 - 0) = 1
Therefore, the points of the data fit into the straight line and the data of the situation shows correlation
In order to show causation, and to rule out other possible causes for the rise in MPG, a separate experiment will be required whereby the cause for the rise in MPG can be determined.

Answer:
The distance of the point from the origin = 9.29 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given point:
(7,-6)
The angle lies such that the terminal side of the angle contains the given point.
To draw the angle and find the distance from the origin to the given point.
Solution:
The terminal side of the angle is where the angle ends with the initial side being the positive side of the x-axis.
So, we can plot the point (7,-6) by moving 7 units on the x-axis horizontally and -6 units on the y-axis vertically.
We can find the distance of the point from the origin by find the hypotenuse of the triangle formed.
Applying Pythagorean theorem.
Taking square root both sides :
Thus, the distance of the point from the origin = 9.29 units.
The figure is shown below.
