Tell whether the data in the table can be modeled by a linear equation. Explain.

The table cannot be modeled by a linear equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data cannot be modeled by a linear equation because the rate of change is not constant.

If grab two set of points from the given data:

Let (x1, y1) = (1, 18)

(x2, y2) = (2, 15)

Plug these values into the slope formula:

Compare this slope with another set of ordered pairs:

(x1, y1) = (4, 12)

(x2, y2) = (8, 9)

As you can see, the rate of change (slope) is not constant. Therefore, the given set of data cannot be modeled by a linear equation.

d. bc = 12 and ef = 16

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that δabc : δdef such that .

also, it is given that

so, from the options, we need that .

a.

b.

c.  

d.

as, we can see that only option d gives the same ratio as i.e. .

hence, the possible lengths are bc = 12 and ef = 16.

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
