Charlie gathered data about the time it takes him to complete a crossword puzzle and the number of clues in the puzzle. He used a graphing tool to organize the data in a scatter plot and find the line of best fit. He found the relationship between the number of clues, x, and the time required to complete the puzzle, y, is modeled by the equation y = 0.376x + 15.48, and the correlation coefficient for the data is 0.219.

Could the line of best fit be used to make reliable predictions about the time it takes Charlie to complete a crossword puzzle?

No, because the correlation coefficient is closer to 0 than to 1, which indicates a weak association between the variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

I got it correct

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1

the length of o'p' is .

step-by-step explanation:

it is given that the quadrilateral m'n'o'p' is the image of quadrilateral mnop after dilation.

the center of dilation is origin and the scale factor is 1.5.

in dilation the image and preimge are similar figures. it means the sides of image and preimage are proportional.

the scale factor is defined as

the scale factor is 1.5.

multiply both sides by op.

note: if the value of op is given, then multiply the value of op with 1.5 to get the length of side o'p'.

therefore length of o'p' is .
