Here, when we plot the graph of y = 0.4125x + 0.1576
Then we see that the graph has a positive correlation as we increase the value of x, the value of y is also increasing. So, Life of Car's Engine and Number of Times the Oil is Changed has a Positive relation.
And if our scatter plot is horizontal, vertical or we unable to draw the line of best fit then it has no or little correlation but here we see that line is not lie in either case. So, the relationship is strong but not very strong.
This is a linear equation with x as the independent variable. This means that if x is the independent variable, the y is the dependent variable. The values of y depends on the values of x. In order to represent the function, 9x + 3y= 12, we would rearrange the function such that y stands alone on the left hand side of the equation. This becomes
9x + 3y= 12
Subtracting 9x from both sides,
9x -9x + 3y = 12 - 9x
3y = 12-9x
Dividing the lefthand side and right hand side of the equation by 3, it becomes
