Fifty matched pairs of magnitude/depth measurements randomly selected from 10,594 earthquakes recorded in one year from a location in southern california. find the best predicted depth of an earthquake with a magnitude of 1.1. use a significance level of 0.05.

step-by-step explanation:

you can't solve x because it is 2 linear equation and you only have one equation

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
