Someone help A statistican is analyzing data to find a model. She has determined the following characteristics of the data. Which characteristics of the data defines the period?

Explanation:

The period of a function measures how long a cycle takes. Think of tides on a beach. There's a regular pattern that can be predicted whether its high tide or low tide. Time is often the critical component with the period. Since choice D mentions time and the key term "repeat", this is why it's the answer.

The other values, while useful elsewhere, aren't going to tell us anything about the period. The initial value being 5 doesn't tell us when y = 5 shows up again, and if the function is repeating itself at this point or not. So info about choice A is not sufficient to determine the period. The same goes for choices B and C as well.

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
