Connie creates a scatter plot using data from local colleges. She calculates the
equation of the line of best fit to be
y = 9.9x + 24.6, where x is the year since
2000 and y is the number of courses
offered.
According to Connie's equation, what was
the expected number of online college
course offerings in 2012, rounded to the
nearest whole number?

step-by-step explanation:

we are given a graph for system of inequalities.

in order to write the system of inequalities for the given graph, we need to find the inequality for each of the line separately.

let us find the slope of dotted line first.

taking two coordinates on the graph.

let us say (0,0) and (3,1).

let us find the slope of the line now.

slope of the dotted line would be =.

y-intercept of dotted line is y=0 only.

plugging slope m= and b=0 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

.

the line is shaded up of that dotted line.

therefore, for shading up we would take greater than inequality symbol > .

and because it's a dotted line we would take only > symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for dotted line would be

let us take two points (3,1) and (0,4) on the solid line.

slope of the solid line would be =.

for the solid line we have y-intercept b= 4.

plugging slope m= -1 and b=4 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

y = -1x + 4.

the line is shaded down of that solid line.

therefore, for shading down we would take less than inequality symbol < .

and because it's a solid line we would take ≤ symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for solid line would be

you didn't give an question you just gave us a statement

step-by-step explanation:

total income = price of one ticket   *   number of tickets sold

  y                 =     4                                   x

so the equation is y=4x     with x≥0   because number of tickets sold can not be negative

thus the equation is a semi -line with an end point at

(0,0)

passing through :

x=1     y=4(1) = 4   so through (1,4)
