Adele and Monte are discussing graphs with negative correlation. Adele claims that only graph B has a negative correlation. Monte claims that both scatterplots have a negative correlation. Which statement it true regarding their claims?
A. Adele is correct because only lines may have a negative slope.
B. Adele is correct because the y values increase as the x values decrease in graph A, so it shows a positive correlation.
C. Monte is correct because both graphs show a strong correlation.
D. Monte is correct because in both scatterplots, the y values decrease as the x values increase so both have a negative correlation.

Which of the following would be a good name for the function that takes the weight of a box and returns the energy needed to lift it?

Asystem of linear equations with more equations than unknowns is sometimes called an overdetermined system. can such a system be consistent? illustrate your answer with a specific system of three equations in two unknowns. choose the correct answer below. a. yes, overdetermined systems can be consistent. for example, the system of equations below is consistent because it has the solution nothing. (type an ordered pair.) x 1 equals 2 comma x 2 equals 4 comma x 1 plus x 2 equals 6 b. no, overdetermined systems cannot be consistent because there are fewer free variables than equations. for example, the system of equations below has no solution. x 1 equals 2 comma x 2 equals 4 comma x 1 plus x 2 equals 12 c. yes, overdetermined systems can be consistent. for example, the system of equations below is consistent because it has the solution nothing. (type an ordered pair.) x 1 equals 2 comma x 2 equals 4 comma x 1 plus x 2 equals 8 d. no, overdetermined systems cannot be consistent because there are no free variables. for example, the system of equations below has no solution. x 1 equals 2 comma x 2 equals 4 comma x 1 plus x 2 equals 24

Varies inversely with x. if y=8.5 when x=-1 find x when y=-1
