(a) write the equation of the regression line that models the data. let x = depth below the surface and let y = soil density. (use the highlighted points to calculate your equation)
(b) use the equation to estimate the soil density of a sample at a depth of 20 m. show your work.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find and model the line, start by picking two points on the graph to draw the line through. We'll use (5, 1073) and (6, 1112). Now we can use the slope formula to find the slope.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (1171 - 1073)/(10 - 5)

m = 98/5

m = 19.6

Now we can use that slope and any point on the line to find the model through those two points.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1073 = 19.6(x - 5)

y - 1073 = 19.6x - 98

y = 19.6x + 975

Now we can use that model to find the value at 20.

y = 19.6x + 975

y = 19.6(20) + 975

y = 392 + 975

y = 1367

answer:

c. the third graph

answer

false

explanation

these practices describe the manner the land use outcome is attained. land management methods implemented by corporations are a mandatory because they are a driver for better land use results economically, socially and environmentally. corporations are required to understand the connection between land use , and land management practices to support sustainable land use policies
