Answer: a.   Consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The scatter-plot shown includes the (blue) least-squares regression line, whose equation is y = .975 + .005x, where y is calories (in thousands) and x is years after 1960.

Here, the slope of the line = 0.05 thousand=0.005\times1000=5

We know that the slope of the line tells about the rate of change of function y with respect to x (independent variable).

Since, the slope of the given line is positive then the dependent variable increase with respect to the independent variable.

Therefore the consumption of calories is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year.

The scatterplot shown includes the (blue) least-squares regression line, whose equation is y = .975 + .005x, where y is calories (in thousands) and x is years after 1960. Choose the correct statement.

Answer: In the given regression equation, the calories are in thousands. Therefore, the slope 0.005 (0.005 x 1000 =5 calories)  means the consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year.

Hence the option a. Consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year. is correct

"In quadrilateral QRST, m∠Q is 68°, m∠R is (3x + 40)°, and m∠T is (5x − 52)°. What are the measures of ∠R , ∠S , and ∠T ? Write
34kurt
TQRS is an inscribed quadrilateral.
5 x - 52° + 3 x + 40° = 180°
8 x - 12° = 180°
8 x = 180° + 12°
8 x = 192°
x = 192° : 8 = 24°
m∠ R = 3 · 24° + 40° = 112°
m∠ T = 5 · 24° - 52° = 68°
m∠ S = 360° - ( 68° + 68° + 112° ) = 112°
Answer:  
m∠R, m∠S, m∠T = 112°, 112°, 68°.
