Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of a slope:

If
m > 0, then a line is rising
m < 0, then a line is falling
m = 0, then a line is horizontal
m is undefined, then a line is vertical
<h2>a.</h2>
(2, 1) and (4, 5)

<h2>b.</h2>
(-1, 0) and (3, -5)

<h2>c.</h2>
(2, 1) and (-3, 1)

<h2>d.</h2>
(-1, 2) and (-1, -5)

Answer:
18.6 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Best fit line from scatterplot :
y=-12.05x +224.26
x = Number of month
y = charge on battery
Number of months a typical battery uses before being dead completely :
When battery is dead completely ; charge =0, y = 0
y = -12.05x + 224.26
0 = - 12.05x + 224.26
12.05x = 224.26
x = 224.26 / 12.05
x = 18.610788
Hence, 18.6 months before battery is completely dead.
