Simon is tracing the path of a lizard on a wall. The table below gives the relationship between the lizard's height from the ground, y, in feet, and the horizontal distance, x, in feet, of the lizard from the starting point. Distance (feet), x 1 2 3 4 3 Height (feet), y 5 6 7 8 9 Which of the following describes the table? A. a relation only B. both a relation and a function C. a function only D. neither a function nor a relation

answer: 33 ( approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, in the linear regression formula, the slope is the a in the equation y = b + ax ( by comparing it with the general equation of line y = mx + c )

where,

here given table is,

price ($), x   :           18         23       25       29       30       33

pairs sold, y :         16         13         10       8         6       2

so, ,   ,   ,

and   ,

thus, slop of the given line is,

⇒  

⇒   ≈ 33
