The correlation coefficient of a scatter plot with line of best fit shown will be the slope of the line.

We can eliminate last 2 choices because the line is clearly a downward sloping line and it's slope wont be positive.

From the first two, it looks like the plot's slope is very close to -1. So we take -0.91, instead of -0.35. <em>[note: 0.91 is more steeper than 0.35 (which is very relaxed)]</em>

ANSWER: -0.91

Jack is 27 years older than Susan. In 5 years he will be 4 times as old as she is. Find the present ages of jack and Susan

riadik2000 [5.3K]

X - Jack's age
y - Susan's age

Jack is 27 years older than Susan.
$x=y+27$

In 5 years he will be 4 times as old as she is.
$x+5=4(y+5)$

The system of equations:
$x=y+27 \\ x+5=4(y+5) \\ \\ \hbox{substitute y+27 for x in the 2nd equation:} \\ y+27+5=4(y+5) \\ y+32=4y+20 \\ y-4y=20-32 \\ -3y=-12 \\ y=\frac{-12}{-3} \\ y=4 \\ \\ x=y+27=4+27=31$

Jack is 31 years old and Susan is 4 years old.

The diagram shows a pentagon. It has one line of symmetry.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

A) 10x + 8 = 21

B) x = 1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 3) + 2(x + 1) + 4x = 21

4x + 6 + 2x + 2 + 4x = 21

10x + 8 = 21

10x = 13

x = 1.3 cm
