1. Eyeballing the data, the best fit will be pretty close to a line between the leftmost point and the rightmost point.
We estimate those points as (4,220) and (28,470)
The point point form for a line joining (a,b) and (c,d) is
(c-a)(y-b) = (d-b)(x-a)
(28 - 4)(y - 220) = (470 - 220)(x - 4)
24(y - 220) = 250(x-4)
24y - 5280 = 250x - 1000
24y = 250 x + 4280
y = (250/24) x+ (4280/24)
Approximately that's,
y = 10.4 x + 178
Answer: 4th choice, 10.4x + 180
2. For 48 wheelbarrows,
y = 10.4(48)+180 = 679.2
Answer: 679.2 liters of sand
Answer:
x = 52, y = 26
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 2y = 0
40 - y = 14
(40 - 40) - y = 14 - 40
- y = -26
y = 26
x - 2(26) = 0
x - 52 = 0
x (- 52 + 52) = 0 + 52
x = 52
Answer: B.$43.95

Step-by-step explanation:


Putting it in matrix form

From Cramer's rule we have

Hence, the fraction is
.
Since I can't draw, you could draw 3 pizzas and cut them all in half, so each person would get half a pizza.
