Answer:
If a line is parallel to another line, the slopes of both lines are the same. So far the equation would be, y=7/6x+b. To find the value of b, you substitute the given point into the equation. -2=7/6(-1)+b, -2=-7/6+b, b=-5/6. So the equation of the line is y=7/6x-5/6.

Answer:
x=21
Step-by-step explanation:
x-7=14
add 7 to both sides
x=21
The maximum positive value that the correlation coefficient can have is 1.
Thus, 0.88 is pretty close, indicating a positive slope for the regression line and points lying close to that line.
Answer:
Tanya is 20 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of Vera = x years
The age of Linda is twice the age of Vera = 2x years
Tanya is four less than four times the age of Linda = 4(2x)-4 = 8x-4
Total age of Vera, Linda and Tanya is:
x+2x+8x-4
Combine the like terms:
11x-4
But now their total age is two more than nine times the age of Vera:
11x-4 = 9x+2
Solve the expression
Combine the like terms:
11x-9x=2+4
2x=6
Divide both the sides by 2
2x/2 = 6/2
x= 3
Thus the age of Vera is 3 years.
The age of Linda is 2x= 2*3 = 6 years
The age of Tanya is 8x-4 = 8*3 - 4 = 24-4 = 20years....
