Peyton collected data to show the relationship between the number of hours he practices and the number of areas he makes him playing a new piece of music The table shows his data which is the approximate slope of the line of best fit for the data

-4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use a graphing calculator to find the line of best fit and the corresponding regression equation.

First we enter the x values into the first list.  Then we enter the y values into the second list.

We pull up the graph (attached).  Next we calculate the linear regression (screenshot attached).  In the regression, we can see that the slope is -4.5 (rounded to the nearest tenth).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

correct answer is b. 27/8
