Protists are a group of organisms that are characterized as eukaryotes (they have cells with nuclei) that are neither plants nor animals nor fungi. they are very diverse, and there are many hypotheses about their classification. the cladogram for protists is constantly changing and, sometimes, there are opposite hypotheses that both have data to support them. what is the implication of a changing hypothesis? a. it is acceptable because data are still being collected. b. it is acceptable because everything in science should always change. c. it is not acceptable because the correct answer needs to be found. d. it is not acceptable because science never changes.

The hypothesis is acceptable because everything in science should always change.

Step-by-step explanation:

hypothesis: this is an assumption made on something based on limited evidence that lays the foundation for further investigation.

So hypothesis can change at any moment because they are assumptions not well established facts or theorem.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
