The scatter plot below shows the profit earned each month by a new company over the first year of operation. [attached] The owner writes a line of best fit equation, shown below, to model the relationship between profit earned and month.

= 2,500 - 2,500

Explain how you know that the line of best fit equation is appropriate. Be sure to mention both the slope and -intercept in your response.

1 is c

2 is a

3 is a

step-by-step explanation:

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:

-1/3(x+1)^5

i’m pretty sure this is correct

11) obtuse

13)right

15) acute
