A student is assessing the correlation between the number of hours a plant receives sunlight and the height to which it grows. T

he table below shows the data:
Number of hours of sunlight
(x) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Height of plant in cm
(y) 4 7 10 13 16 19 22 25 28 31

Part A: Is there any correlation between the number of hours of sunlight that a plant receives and the height to which it grows? Justify your answer.

Part B: Write a function which best fits the data.

Part C: What does the slope and y-intercept of the plot indicate about the plant?

Answer:

yes there is a linear correlation

reason : a increase of 1 hour results in an increase of 3 height

y= 3x + 4

it has  a positive slope of 3 ,and y intercept of 4

Answer:

Part A: Yes

Part B: y = 3x + 4

Part C: Slope: the height increases at a rate of 3 cm per hour of sunlight

y-intercept: initial height, without any sunlight is 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

As x increases by 1 unit, y increases by 3. Therefore there is a correlation between the variables

Slope: (7-4)/(1-0) = 3/1 = 3

y-intercept is at x = 0, which is 4

Equation:

y = 3x + 4

Slope: the height increases at a rate of 3 cm per hour of sunlight

y-intercept: initial height, without any sunlight is 4 cm

PART A:
 The generic equation of the line is:
 y-yo = m (x-xo)
 First we look for the slope of the line:
 m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
 m = ((5000) - (6000)) / (4-3)
 m = -1000
 Then, we substitute any point in the generic equation:
 (xo, yo) = (4, 5000)
 Substituting:
 y-5000 = (- 1000) (x-4)
 Rewriting:
 y = -1000x + 4000 + 5000
 y = -1000x + 9000
 The equation is:
 y = -1000x + 9000

 PART B: 
 For the price of 3.50 we have:
 y = -1000 * (3.5) +9000
 y = 5500

Find the point that lies on the line described by the equation below. y - 8 = - 3 (x-6)​
ohaa [14]

Answer:

B. (6, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this out, you can plug in the coordinates to see if you get matching answers. Since you believe answer "B," is correct, we can check:

y - 8 = -3(x - 6)

8 - 8 = -3(6 - 6)

0 = -3(0)

0 = 0

<u>Since the answers match, that makes answer "B," correct.</u>
