Find the line of best fit for the relationship between calories and fat.
1 answer:
Answer: Choice A
y=0.0714x-9.2682
==============================================
Explanation:
I used GeoGebra (free graphing software) to find the line of best fit, aka the regression line. You can do so by hand, but I think it's tedious busywork and prefer to use technology whenever possible. Other graphing and spreadsheet programs are able to compute the regression line as well.

<span>In triangle XYZ,
angle X=46 degrees,
XZ = 10 units and
YZ=8 units.
We will find the length of XY using cosine rule:
According to cosine rule:
a² = b² + c² - 2bc cosA (the figure is attached)
Here, A = 46 degree.
a = 8 units.
b <span>= ?
</span>c = 10 units.
</span>⇒ b² = c² - a² -2bc cosA
⇒ b² = 100 - 64 - 160*cos(46)
⇒ b² = 100 - 64 - 160*0.69
⇒ b² = 100 - 64 - 110.4
⇒ b² = 100 - 64 - 110.4
⇒ b² = 74.4
or b = 8.62 units.
or b = 8 untis approximately.
