Lots of people use breakfast cereal as a daily source of fiber, and these cereals also contain the mineral potassium. Suppose a linear model was made to predict a cereal's potassium content using its fiber content, and suppose the model had intercept 37 and slope 25. For a cereal having 255 milligrams of potassium and 9 grams of fiber, what is the residual (in mg)?

The residual is of 7 mg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear model:

A linear model has the following format:

In which m is the slope and b is the intercept.

Suppose the model had intercept 37 and slope 25.

This means that

So

9 grams of fiber

This means that . So

255 milligrams of potassium. What is the residual (in mg)?

Expected subtracted by actual. So

262 - 255 = 7

The residual is of 7 mg.

it has changed from the width and the height.

step-by-step explanation:

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
