Answer:
There is a positive correlation between these two variables.
Step-by-step explanation:
Positive correlation is an association amid two variables in which both variables change in the same direction.
A positive correlation occurs when one variable declines as the other variable declines, or one variable escalates while the other escalates.
As the distance covered by the vehicle increases the amount of gas consumed also increases. Thus, the weekly cost of gas will also increase.
Thus, there is a positive correlation between these two variables.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>
3(4x - 5) - 4x + 1 = -6
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute 3: 12x - 15 - 4x + 1 = -6
- Combine like terms: 8x - 14 = -6
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: 8x = 8
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = 1
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 3(4(1) - 5) - 4(1) + 1 = -6
- Multiply: 3(4 - 5) - 4 + 1 = -6
- Subtract: 3(-1) - 4 + 1 = -6
- Multiply: -3 - 4 + 1 = -6
- Subtract: -7 + 1 = -6
- Add: -6 = -6
Here we see that -6 does indeed equal -6.
∴ x = 1 is the solution to the equation.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
slope of -2 means the slope is -2/1
from (3, - 8) you can find the y intercept by going backwords until x = 0
(2,-6)
(1,-4)
(0,-2)
so the y intercept is -2
y = -2x - 2
