The following linear equation represents the line of best fit for the following scatter plot y=0.15x-1.5

Use the equation to answer the following questions. Predict the amount of hits a player would have to do to have 35 home runs.

A) About 4 hits
B) 223 hits
C) About 243 hits
D) 175 hits

C) About 243 hits

Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

y = home runs

x = hits

[Best Line of Fit] y = 0.15x - 1.5

We can use this to predict the average of the scatter plot.

home runs = y = 35

Step 2: Solve for x hits

Remember that this is a prediction. According to the best line of fit, we would need approximately ~243 to get 35 home runs.

are you sure this is middle schools math? ?

the correct answer is a) they believe they have a "just cause."

islamic terrorists justify their violent actions because they believe they have a "just cause."

every act of terrorism of islamic sects is done “in the name of allah”. that justifies their actions. islam people who commit those terrorist attacks are not afraid to die. that is why the attacks have horrible consequences. they know they are going to die and they are proud to do it because it is in the name of allah, so it is justified and is for a “good cause.”

since the very beginning of the conflict with israel, islam is fighting a “sacred war”, respecting the words stated in the qur’an. they fight against the domination of the western countries and to defend their occupied territories.
