The data shown on the scatter plot below demonstrates the relationship between a young boy's age (in months) and the
average number of hours that he sleeps each night.
the slope of the best fit line shows that as the boy's age
the average number of hours
that he sleeps each night
blank a options:
decreases
increases
stays the same
blank b options:
increases
decreases
stays the same

a) increases b) decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

Typically, descriptions of trends are indicated as the change of the dependent (y) variable with respect to the increase of the independent (x) variable. In this case, age is the x variable and hours of sleep is the y variable.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

i think it is 18
