he equation of the line of best fit relating age (in years) and the median height (in cm) of boys is given.

y = 6.5x + 75.5
Which statement below best interprets the slope in the context of the problem?

Respuesta :

Answer:

proof: answer is 2/13

1 / 6.5 = m

m = 0.153846154

10/65 = m

m = 2/13

2/13 = m

m = 0.153846154

Therefore we could show multiplication proof

m = 10/65  =   m = 2/13

2 x 5 = 10

13 x 5 = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached graph of y = 6.5x+75.5

plotting the graph

1. Mark y intercept at 75.5 as given in the equation

2. find the slope to whole numbers

m =  10 across / 65 across = 6.5 slope

Mapping Pythagoras   10^2 +65^2 = c^2

sqrt 100 + sqrt 4225 = c^2

c^2 = sqrt 4225 = 65.7647322 = 65.8

0.7647322 / 65 = 0.0117651108 = 100th

65 + 0.0117651108 = 65.011765.....

Therefore 10 across / 65.0118  down

or 10 across  / 65 down is another way to graph, as seen on graph.

m = 10/65  =   m = 2/13

2 x 5 = 10

13 x 5 = 65
