A company is evaluating a new reading program that is supposed to improve test scores. The box plots show the results of reading tests given before and after using the program. With this data, what is the most reasonable answer to the question: Does the program improve test scores?

answer: -1

step-by-step explanation:

the function makes a strait line horizontally with no x intercept but a y intercept at 9.

if you are looking for the unit rate then the answer would be 9 because unit rate is distance divided by time.

step-by-step explanation:

system of linear equation

step-by-step explanation:

as given in the data

a= 20 , b= -12

let us suppose that it is a straight line equation

now we know the formula for the system of linear equation

b= ma + c )

here m is slope of a straight line which is equal to formula

m=   (ii)

and here c is a constant

now putting the value of a and b in equation (ii)

m=

m=

putting the value of a,b and m in equation (i) gives us

-12 = + c

-12=-12 + c

adding 12 to both sides

-12 +12 = -12 +12 +c

0 =c

or c=0

as the value of the constant is zero which gives us that it is a linear equation and this order pair satisfies the system of linear equations.
