Answer: You would swap the ineqaulity

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number reverses the inequality. This means < changes to >, and vice versa. For example, given that 5 < 8 we can multiply both sides by 6 to obtain 30 < 48 which is still true.

The line of best fit for a scatter plot is shown:
scoray [572]
(0,6)(4,3)
slope = (3 - 6) / (4 - 0) = -3/4
ur y int (where the line crosses the y axis) is (0,6)

in y = mx + b form, the slope will be in the m position and the y int will be in the b position. 

Therefore, ur equation is : y = -3/4x + 6 <==

This circle is centered at the origin, and the length of its radius is 4. What is
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

D. x² + y² = 4²

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a circle is given in the attached  graphic.

In this case, we can see that the center of the circle is at the origin i.e (0,0) and that the radius is 4 units.

the values for h, k and r in the general equation are as follows:

h = 0, k=0, r = 4

putting this into the general equation:

(x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²

(x-0)² + (y-0)² = 4²

x² + y² = 4²
