The "m" in y = mx + b is the <u>slope.</u>
It is the number of units a point goes up, down, left, or right each time. Making the line linear/straight.

"rise" is the the number of units you go up(+) or down(-), "run" is the number of units you go to the right
For example, if your slope is:

You are going up 1 unit, and to the right 2 units
3 or 
You are going up 3 units, and to the right 1 unit

You are going down one unit, and to the right 2 units
-3 or 
You are going down 3 units, and to the right 1 unit
The line of best fit is a straight line that can be used to predict the
average daily attendance for a given admission cost.
Correct responses:
- The equation of best fit is;

- The correlation coefficient is; r ≈<u> -0.969</u>
<h3>Methods by which the line of best fit is found</h3>
The given data is presented in the following tabular format;
![\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}Cost, (dollars), x&20&21&22&24&25&27&28&30\\Daily attendance, y&940&935&940&925&920&905&910&890\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Btabular%7D%7B%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7C%7DCost%2C%20%28dollars%29%2C%20x%2620%2621%2622%2624%2625%2627%2628%2630%5C%5CDaily%20attendance%2C%20y%26940%26935%26940%26925%26920%26905%26910%26890%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
The equation of the line of best fit is given by the regression line
equation as follows;
Where;
= Predicted value of the<em> i</em>th observation
b₀ = Estimated regression equation intercept
b₁ = The estimate of the slope regression equation
= The <em>i</em>th observed value

= 24.625
= 960.625

Therefore;

Therefore;
- The slope given to the nearest tenth is b₁ ≈ -4.9

By using MS Excel, we have;
n = 8
∑X = 197
∑Y = 7365
∑X² = 4939
∑Y² = 6782675
∑X·Y = 180930
(∑X)² = 38809
Therefore;

- The y-intercept given to the nearest tenth is b₀ ≈ 1,042
The equation of the line of best fit is therefore;
The correlation coefficient is given by the formula;

Where;


Which gives;

The correlation coefficient given to the nearest thousandth is therefore;
- <u>Correlation coefficient, r ≈ -0.969</u>

9 and 12 have a common factor of 3 so 9/12 = 3/4
Using the Sine Rule:-
20 /sin 45 = BC / sin 30
BC = 20 sin 30 / sin45
= 20 * 1/2 / 1 / sqrt2
= 20 * 1/2 * sqrt2
= 10 sqrt2 answer
