Police investigating traffic accidents often estimate the speed of a vehicle by measuring
the length of the tire skid distance. The following table gives the average tire skid
distance for an automobile with good tires on dry pavement.
Tire Skid Distance
(in feet)
Speed
(in miles per hour)
25 28
54 35
89 45
132 55
184 65
244 75
313 85
1. Find the linear regression equation: .

a) 150 feet
b) 200 feet
3. Find the tire skid distance of a car travelling at the following speeds:

answer: 5 17/33 % (to the tenth)

step-by-step explanation:

he guessed: 34.5 pounds

actual weight is 32.7

there for he is off:

34.5 -32.7 = 1.8

32.7 is the 100%

1.8 represents %? of 32.7

therefore:

32.7   - 100%

1.8     -     x%

x= 1.8*100%/32.7% = 18*100%/327%

x=1800%/327%   = (5 165/327)%

to the tenth:

5 17/33 %

if y=4x then you will substitute 4x in for y in the second equation.

8x + 4x = 18 combine like terms

12x = 18 divide by 12 on both sides

x = 18/12 or 3/2

now replace x in the first equation with 3/2 to get

y = 4 3/2

y = 6

the answer is a

(3/2,6)

hope that .
