now, what's the slope of a line parallel to that one above? well, parallel lines have exactly the same slope.
The ratio of the difference of the two means to Sidney’s mean absolute deviation is; 4/3.28
<h3>How to find the Mean Absolute Deviation?</h3>
From the given table, we see that;
Mean grade of Sidney = 82
Mean grade of Phil = 78.
Mean absolute deviation of Sidney = 3.28
Mean absolute deviation of Phil = 3.96.
The difference between the two means of Sidney and Phil = 82 - 78 = 4.
Thus, the ratio of the difference of the two means to Sidney’s mean absolute deviation is; 4/3.28
Complete Question is;
The means and mean absolute deviations of Sidney’s and Phil’s grades are shown in the table below. Means and Mean Absolute Deviations of Sidney’s and Phil’s Grades Sidney Phil Mean 82 78 Mean Absolute Deviation 3.28 3.96 Which expression represents the ratio of the difference of the two means to Sidney’s mean absolute deviation?

<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
The complete question is in a comment above. The statements says that:
- Sean wrote the equation

is the cost per pound.- The equation show the relationships between the total cost, $9.25, and the number of pounds of pears.
So we are asked to write an write an equation to show the cost y of x pounds of pears. In other words, we need to write an equation such that y is given in terms of x, where x is the pounds of pears. So:

From the equation we can determine
as:

So each pound costs $1.85. The equation tells us that 5 pounds of pears result costs $9.25. Then, by proportion:

So choosing the number of pounds as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, the table would be:

From the table we can know that the graph is a line. that passes through all these points. Since this line passes through the origin, then y varies directly as x (Direct Proportion).
