Ascatter plot was constructed and a line of best fit drawn as shown. what is the equation of this best line of fit? y = 5x + 5 y = x + 5 y = 5x +25 y = x + 125

Answer

y = 5x +25

Explanation

To get the equation of a line, first get the slope of the line.

Slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

          = (60-30)/(7-1)

          = 30/6

            = 5

Now use one point in the line (4,45) and a general point (x,y).

Slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

    5 = (y - 45)/(x - 4)

    5(x - 4) = (y - 45)

  5x - 20 = y - 45

y = 5x -20 + 45

y = 5x + 25

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!

the infinity sign
