Answer:
The function is
.
The slope is
.
The y-intercept is
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Our aim is to calculate the values <em>m</em> (slope) and <em>b</em> (y-intercept) in the equation of a line :

We have the following data:

To find the line of best fit for the points given, you must:
Step 1: Find
and
as it was done in the table below.
Step 2: Find the sum of every column:

Step 3: Use the following equations to find <em>b</em> and <em>m</em>:

Step 4: Assemble the equation of a line

The graph of the regression line is:
40 boys and 68 girls
let's start with variables and an equation.
boys: x
girls: 2x - 12
and we know that boys and girls make up the class. so let's add the two expressions.
x + 2x - 12 = 108
3x - 12 = 108
+ 12 + 12
3x = 120
x = 40 boys
BUT x is only the number of BOYS in the class. so we have to find girls now. let's plug in our value of x into the girls' equation.
2x - 12 = # of girls
2(40) -12 = # of girls
80 - 12 = # of girls
68 girls
let's check our answer!
68 + 40 does in fact add to 108, therefore our answer is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct question is </em></u>
A landscaper needs 3 4/8 pounds of plant food. He has 1 1/4 pounds in his truck, and another 4/6 pound at his shop. How many more pounds of plant food does the landscaper need?
Let
x ----> the additional pounds of plant food needed for the landscaper
we know that
The additional pounds of plant food needed for the landscaper plus the pounds in his truck plus the pounds in his shop must be equal to the total pounds of plant food needed
so
The linear equation that represent this problem is

Convert mixed number to an improper fractions


Substitute in the expression above

solve for x
Multiply by (4*6) both sides to remove the fractions

Combine like terms left side

subtract 46 both sides


Divide by 24 both sides

simplify

Convert to mixed number

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If the arc on a circle measures 85 degrees, then the measure of the central angle is also 85 degrees too
so
The central angle in degrees is within the range 
Convert to radians
Remember that

therefore
the range in radians is
