Let's say that the unknown value here is c. Although we are given two points on the line, it is only necessary to use one as there is only one unknown value, so let's say we choose the point (6, -12) and substitute this into the equation:
-12 = 1(6) - c
-12 - 6 = -c
-18 = -c
c = 18
Thus the equation for the line is y = 1x - 18
It means the scatter plot is a line with negative slope. The relation is perfectly described by a linear equation.
Hey there! :)
Answer:
A. 23.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
5 + 2(x + 7)² for x = -4
Substitute in -4 for x in the equation:
5 + 2((-4) + 7)²
5 + 2(3)²
5 + 2(9)
5 + 18 = 23.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 23.
