Answer: y = 3x - 5.322

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard format for an equation of a straight line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We can say y = 3x + b, but then need to add the one given point to calculate b.

y = 3x + b for (1.7, -2/9) is:

-2/9 = 3(1.7) + b

b = -5.322

The line is y = 3x - 5.322

We have been given that a colleague has been tutoring six students in 11th grade to prepare for the ACT. Student scores were as follows: 20, 18, 16, 15, 23, 20. We are asked to find the mean of the ACT scores.

We will use mean formula to solve our given problem.

$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of terms}}{\text{Number of terms}}$

$\text{Mean}=\frac{20+18+16+15+23+20}{6}$

$\text{Mean}=\frac{112}{6}$

$\text{Mean}=18.66666$

Upon rounding to nearest whole number, we will get:

$\text{Mean}\approx 19$

Therefore, the mean of the ACT scores is 19 and option 'c' is the correct choice.
