What is the linear function equation that best fits the data set?

a. yˆ=2x + 1
b. yˆ=2x − 1
c. yˆ=x + 2
d. yˆ=x + 1

If you are in K-12 your answer is y^=2x+1

I see you took a snip of your problem... Here I took a better snip of it.

Please leave a thanks.

if you was gonna solve for a, a is a   < -12

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
