Answer:

b is the y intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: y = 2x + 5 or y = 2/3x + b

on the graph, it's the y axis

C is the correct answer. A line is proportional if it is a straight line that passes through the origin, and while it does pass through the origin, it isn’t completely straight.

Answer:

$\displaystyle y=-0.927x+13.63$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Simple Linear Regression </u>

It a function that represents the relationship between two or more variables in a given data set. It uses the method of the least-squares regression line which minimizes the error between the estimate function and the real data.

Let's compute the best-fit line for the data

$x=\{1,5,6,12,15\}$

$y=\{14,11,4,2,1\}$

First, we find the sums

$\displaystyle \sum x=1+5+6+12+15=39$

$\displaystyle \sum y=14+11+4+2+1=32$

Then, we compute the averages values

$\displaystyle \bar{x}=\frac{39}{5}=7.8$

$\displaystyle \bar{y}=\frac{32}{5}=6.4$

We will also compute the sums of the cross-products and the sum of the squares

$\displaystyle \sum xy=(1)(14)+(5)(11)+(6)(4)+(12)(2)+(15)(1)=137$

$\displaystyle \sum x^2=1^2+5^2+6^2+12^2+15^2=1+25+36+144+225$

$\displaystyle \sum x^2=431$

We will compute Sxy and Sxx

$\displaystyle S_{xy}=\sum xy-\frac{\sum x\ \sum y}{n}$

$\displaystyle S_{xy}=137-\frac{(39)(32)}{5}$

$\displaystyle S_{xy}=-117.6$

$\displaystyle S_{xx}=\sum x^2-\frac{(\sum x)^2}{n}$

$\displaystyle S_{xx}=431-\frac{39}{5}^2=126.8$

The slope of the linear regression function is given by

$\displaystyle m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}=\frac{-117.6}{126.8}=-0.927$

The y-intercept ot the linear function is

$\displaystyle b=\bar{y}-b\bar{x}=6.4-(-0.927)(7.8)$

$\displaystyle b=13.63$

Thus the best-fit line is

$\displaystyle y=-0.927x+13.63$

The correct option is the last one

Jeremiah received $65 for his birthday and used part of it to buy 3 video games. The games cost the same amount, and he had $14

hram777 [196]

Jeremiah got $65 on birthday and spent some money on 3 video games and was left with $14.

He purchased 3 video games.

Let the cost one one video game be v.

The cost of each video game is same

So the cost of 3 video games is 3v.

Also he is left with $14 after paying for three games.

Hence

3v + 14 = 65

Subtracting 14 from both sides

3v + 14 -14 = 65-14

3v = 51

Dividing by 3 on both sides

v = 51/3

v = 17

Hence the cost of each video game is $17

Answer:

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

Each smaller rectangle is being multiplied by <em>a </em>so 2a + 3a + 4a would give you the total area of the entire large rectangle.
