(1,4), (-1,3) 3-4/-1-1=-1/-2. -1/-2= 1/2 so 1/2 would be the slope
Use the change-of-basis identity,

to write

Use the product-to-sum identity,

to write

Redistribute the factors on the left side as

and simplify to

Now expand the right side:

Simplify and rewrite using the logarithm properties mentioned earlier.





(C)
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. You have that the <span>data set has SSR=400 and SSE=100
2. Therefore you have </span><span>the coefficient of determination is:
r</span>²=SSR/SSTO
SSTO=SSR+SSE
3. Then, when you substitute the values, you obtain:
SSTO=400+100
SSTO=500
r²=400/500
4. So, you have that the result is:
r²=0.8
Therefore, as you can see, the answer for the exercise shown above is: <span> the coefficient of determination is 0.8</span>
