Answer with explanation:

The equation of the line of best fit of a scatter plot is

⇒y = 5 x – 2

To find the Slope of the line, comparing with slope intercept form of line ,which is

⇒y =m x + c

Comparing the two lines , we get

→Slope =5

The answer is 5. In a slope-intercept form equation, the slope is always the coefficient of x. The slope is 5.

Answer:

y= 12 + 0.25x

The slope would be 0.25 or 1/4 because the slope is ALWAYS the number that is next to X. I hope this helps!!!

Round 6,584,003 to the nearest 100

So the 6,584.... isn't affected. 3 is closer to 0 hundreds than it is 1 hundred, and there is nothing in the tens place, so it becomes 6,584,000.

You need the geometric mean for right triangles that involves the altitude. There are 3 different formulas that help us solve for sides and altitudes. For us that would look like this: $\frac{r}{h} =\frac{h}{s}$ . Your answer is "s", third choice down.
