Answer:Expand the equation.

Multiply (distribute) the first numbers of each set, outer numbers of each set, inner numbers of each set, and the last numbers of each set.

Combine like terms.

Solve the equation and simplify, if needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data for length of the tail (in millimeters) and age (in days) of tadpoles is entered into a statistics software package and results in a regression equation of ŷ = 15 - 1.5x.

What is the correct interpretation of the slope if the length of the tail is the response variable and the age is the explanatory variable?

Answers

Using the slope concept, it is found that the correct interpretation is that each day, the length decreases by 1.5 millimetres.

The equation of a line has the following format:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, how much y changes when x changes by 1.b is the y-intercept, which is the value of x when y = 0.

In this problem, the length of the tail, in millimetres, after x days, is given by:

[tex]y = 15 - 1.5x[/tex]

The slope is of [tex]m = -1.5[/tex], which means that each day, the length of the tail decreases by 1.5 millimetres.

Slope is 1 and (-2, -1) is on the line.

Answers

Answer:

You can’t find the slope of a line if only given one point. If you had a visual representation of the line such as a graph or a table you could find a second point and then use the formula for slope, y = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1).

Imagine a single point on the xy graph. You could take a random point elsewhere from an infinite number of points and would be able to draw a line and find the slope. This means there could be an infinite number of different slopes for one point. One point on an unknown line is not enough information to determine the slope of its line without a graph or a table.

Victor has 2 times as many as trophies as Dean. Together , víctor and Dean have 27 trophies . How many trophies does víctor have?

Answers

Answer:

Victor has 18 trophies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up "let statements"

Let d = Dean's trophies

Since Victor has 2 times as many trophies as Dean, we can set up a let statement for Victor like this...

Let 2d = Victor's trophies

Now we can set up an equation! Since we know Dean and Victor have 27 trophies altogether...our equation has to involve addition...

2d + d = 27

Combine like terms...(2d and d)

3d = 27

Divide 3 on both sides to isolate the variable "d"

3d ÷ 3 = d

27 ÷ 3 = 9

So...

d = 9

That means Dean has 9 trophies. But we are not done yet because we need to figure out how many trophies Victor has. Since Victor has 2 times the number of trophies as Dean we can do...

2 · 9 = 18

Therefore, Victor has 18 trophies!

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Vitor has 18 trophies and Dean has 9.
