CAN SOMEONE URGENTLY HELP ME WITH STATS, I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!! I would really like the answer to be between 3-5 sentences, but any REAL answer is fine

answer: options?

step-by-step explanation:

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours

let

step

find the slope of the line ab

we know that

the formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

substitute the values

step

find the equation of the line ab with the slope m and point a

we know that

the equation of the line in the slope-point form is equal to

substitute the values

convert to function form

let

therefore

the answer is the option
