Data plays a crucial role in decision-making because it can reveal relationships between different quantities. We often use linear equations to model these relationships and make predictions about the data. Think about a situation when you needed to analyze data. What types of trends did you find in the data? How did noticing the trends help you make a decision related to the situation?

If a and −a are numbers on the number line, which expression must give the distance between them? a) 0 b) a c) |2a| d) |a|

Look at this system of equations. -3x + 3y = 12 y = x + 4 the solution set of this system is best explained by which of these statements? a) the graphs of the equations are the same line because the equations have the same slope and the same y-intercept. the system has infinitely many solutions. b) the graphs of the equations are parallel lines because they have the same slope but different y-intercepts. the system has no solution. c) the graphs of the equations are lines that intersect at one point because the equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts. the system has exactly one solution. d) the graphs of the equations are lines that intersect at one point because the equations have the same slope and the same y-intercept. the system has exactly one solution.
