9.286
[To change to mixed number, count the number of digits after the decimal point. There are 3 digits, so the denominator will be 1000]

Then we simplify the fraction
(286 ÷ 2)/(1000÷2) = 143/500
Therefore,

12x+7x+8y+12^2+y+12=19x+9y+24^2
Answer:
c. there is a positive correlation in-between x and y
Step-by-step explanation:
A regression line is a line that suggests that all the points in a scatter diagram lie on or near one particular line. In a simple regression analysis in which y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable. If the slope is positive, the bivariate data is also said to have a positive correlation. The positive correlation in-between two variables x and y implies that in general, an increase in x goes hand in hand with an increase in y.
