Ascatter plot was constructed and a line of best fit drawn as shown. what is the equation of this best line of fit? y = 5x + 5 y = x + 5 y = 5x +25 y = x + 125

Answer

y = 5x +25

Explanation

To get the equation of a line, first get the slope of the line.

Slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

          = (60-30)/(7-1)

          = 30/6

            = 5

Now use one point in the line (4,45) and a general point (x,y).

Slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

    5 = (y - 45)/(x - 4)

    5(x - 4) = (y - 45)

  5x - 20 = y - 45

y = 5x -20 + 45

y = 5x + 25

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
