The tables below show four sets of data:

set a
x 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
y 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2
set b
x 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
y 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

set c
x 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
y 8 6 5 4 3.5 3 2.5 2 2
set d
x 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
y 1 2.5 2.5 3 4 5 6 8 9

for which set of data will the scatter plot represent a negative linear association between x and y? (4 points)

set a
set b
set c
set d

Hence, the set that represent a negative linear association between x and y is:

Set A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 4 sets of data as:

Set A  

x123456789  

y1098765432

Set B  

x123456789  

y34567891011

Set C  

x123456789  

y86543.532.522

Set D  

x123456789  

y12.52.5345689

We are asked to determine the set which represent negative linear association between x and y?

         y=11-x or y= -x+11.

Hence, clearly we could see that the relationship is linear and also negative as the value of y keeps on decreasing with increasing x.

Hence, the set that represent a negative linear association between x and y is:

Set A.

this shows a reflection over the x-axis and is translated one unit down and 6 units to the right (x + 6, y - 1)

a.   we have two

lines:   y = 4-x   and  

y = 8-x^-1

given two simultaneous equations that are both to be

true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. the intersection is

where the two equations are equal. therefore the solution that works for both

equations is when

4-x = 8-x^-1

this is where the two lines will cross and that is the

common point that satisfies both equations.

b.   4-x = 8-x^-1

  x           4-x       8-x^-1

-3           7        

8.33

-2           6         8.5

-1           5         9

  0           4        

-

  1           3        

7

  2           2        

7.5

  3           1         7.67

the table shows that none of the x values from -3 to 3 is

the solution because in no case does

4-x = 8-x^-1

to find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to

find for x:

4-x = 8-x^-1

multiply both sides with x:

4x-x^2 = 8x-1

x^2+4x-1=0

x= -4.236, 0.236

therefore there are two points that satisfies the

equation.

find y:  

x=-4.236

y = 4-x   = 4 – (-4.236)

= 8.236

y = 8-x^-1 =   .236)^-1

= 8.236

x=0.236

  y = 4-x   = 4 – (0.236) = 3.764

y = 8-x^-1 =   8-(0.236)^-1

= 3.764

thus the two lines cross at 2 points:

(-4.236, 8.236) & (0.236, 3.764)

c.   to solve

graphically the equation 4-x = 8-x^-1

we would graph both lines: y = 4-x   and   y

= 8-x^-1

the point on the graph where the lines cross is the

solution to the system of equations.

just graph the points on part b on a cartesian coordinate

system and extend the two lines.   the

solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.
