Catapult Launch
In this activity, you will write and solve a system of linear equations given two tables of data. You will then analyze the solution of the system to draw a conclusion.
Part A
While building his catapult, Aiden tested several different designs. He varied the arm length of his catapult and recorded the horizontal distance between where the ball was launched and where it landed for each arm length.
The table presents Aiden’s data showing the length of the catapult arm in relation to the horizontal distance the catapult launched the tennis ball.
Length of Catapult Arm (cm) Horizontal Distance (cm)
60 320
80 352.4
100 386.8
60 288.1
70 315
75 322
90 362
100 390
85 350
95 398
Use the graphing tool to determine the line of best fit for Aiden’s data.
Question
What is the equation of the line of best fit for Aiden’s data?
Enter the correct answer in the box by replacing m and b in the equation. Round each number to the nearest tenth.

Stu and ambrose are working together on a study of whether diet is related to students' mental health. first, they randomly select 10 students from the student center and 10 students from the office of counseling and psychological services. then, they ask students to rate their diet in terms of healthiness on a scale of 1-100 before completing a 20-item mental health survey. a) name one of the constructs being studied b) how was the construct you named above operationally defined in this experiment? e) was the variable you described above their independent variable, their dependent variable, or a controlled variable? d) what is a confounding variable? what is a potential confound in this study?
