The National Weather Service collects data on the number of hours of consecutive rainfall and the number of minor traffic accidents in a particular city. The scatter plot shows the data it gathered and the line of best fit. For a school project, Peyton uses technology to calculate the equation for line of best fit. If Peyton's calculation is correct, which equation could represent the line of best fit for this data? A. y = 0.625x.
B. y = 2.375x.
C. y = -2.375x + 5.25.
D. y = 0.625x + 5.25

step-by-step explanation:

ok so im not 100% sure but you would start by adding 5.1t and 1.9t beacuse they have the same variable. that is 7t.   then add -3.6 + 1.2 which is -2.4

so then keep that as -2.4 + 7t. i apologize if this is incorrect. best luck on your test < 3

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.

answer: list the statements and i will follow up!

step-by-step explanation:

you ignore the remainder, therefore the answer is y = x+2

step-by-step explanation:

you have to divide the denominator by the numerator. you can use synthetic division or long division.

[-5] .     1 .     7 .     11

x + 2 + 1/x+5
