Answer 5

The trend line equation in slope-intercept form is y = -6.1x + 43.4.

Answer 6

My apologies for the error. Let me re-calculate the trend line equation using the given data points.

Calculating the slope using the first and last points:

Slope (m) = (38 - 27) / (1 - 0.6) = 11 / 0.4 = 27.5

Now, using point (1, 38):

38 = 27.5(1) + b
b = 38 - 27.5
b = 10.5

Therefore, the equation of the trend line in slope-intercept form is y = 27.5x + 10.5.

Answer 7

My apologies for the oversight. Let's recalculate the trend line equation using the provided data points.

First, calculate the slope (m) using two points (1, 45) and (0.6, 27):

m = (45 - 27) / (1 - 0.6) = 18 / 0.4 = 45

Next, substitute one of the points (1, 45) into the slope-intercept form equation y = mx + b to solve for the y-intercept (b):

45 = 45(1) + b
45 = 45 + b
b = 45 - 45
b = 0

Therefore, the equation of the trend line in slope-intercept form is y = 45x.

Answer 8

I apologize for the error. Let's recalculate the trend line equation correctly.

First, calculate the slope using two points (1, 38) and (0.6, 27):

slope (m) = (38 - 27) / (1 - 0.6) = 11 / 0.4 = 27.5

Next, substitute the point (1, 38) into the slope-intercept form equation y = mx + b to solve for the y-intercept (b):

38 = 27.5(1) + b
38 = 27.5 + b
b = 38 - 27.5
b = 10.5

Therefore, the equation of the trend line in slope-intercept form is y = 27.5x + 10.5.

Answer 9

Apologies for the previous errors. Let's try again to calculate the correct trend line equation using the provided data points.

We are given the following points:
(1, 45)
(0.6, 35)
(1.6, 36)
(1, 38)
(0.8, 15)
(0.9, 22)
(1.2, 37)
(1.6, 30)
(2.9, 22)
(2.6, 14)
(3, 5)
(3.9, 11)
(0.6, 27)

Calculating the average x and y values:
x̄ = (1 + 0.6 + 1.6 + 1 + 0.8 + 0.9 + 1.2 + 1.6 + 2.9 + 2.6 + 3 + 3.9 + 0.6) / 13 ≈ 1.9
ȳ = (45 + 35 + 36 + 38 + 15 + 22 + 37 + 30 + 22 + 14 + 5 + 11 + 27) / 13 ≈ 25.4

Calculate the sum of xy and sum of x^2:
Σ(xy) = (1*45) + (0.6*35) + (1.6*36) + (1*38) + (0.8*15) + (0.9*22) + (1.2*37) + (1.6*30) + (2.9*22) + (2.6*14) + (3*5) + (3.9*11) + (0.6*27) ≈ 446.8
Σ(x^2) = (1^2) + (0.6^2) + (1.6^2) + (1^2) + (0.8^2) + (0.9^2) + (1.2^2) + (1.6^2) + (2.9^2) + (2.6^2) + (3^2) + (3.9^2) + (0.6^2) ≈ 47.36

Using the formulas to find the slope (m) and y-intercept (b):
m = (Σ(xy) - n*x̄*ȳ) / (Σ(x^2) - n*x̄^2)
m = (446.8 - 13 * 1.9 * 25.4) / (47.36 - 13 * 1.9^2) ≈ -10.5049
b = ȳ - m*x̄ ≈ 25.4 - (-10.5049 * 1.9) ≈ 45.9

Therefore, the equation of the trend line in slope-intercept form is approximately y= -10.5049x + 45.9.
