In two sample surveys, 125 people were asked about their favorite fruit. In the first survey, 40 people chose apples, 64 chose oranges, and 21 chose bananas. In the second, 43 chose apples, 63 chose oranges, and 19 chose bananas. Marianne inferred that most people prefer oranges. Is this inference true based on the data? Explain.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?

7x7=4 so if u carry the 9 it will be 33
