At Mercy Anderson Hospital, three babies were born on New Year’s Day. One baby weighs 3.27 kg, another baby weighs 4.59 kg and the third baby weighs 3.6 kg. The hospital tells The Enquirer that the three babies born weighed in at a total of about 10 kg. Is this a reasonable combined weight? Show your thinking.

both graphs increase on their domain

neither graph has a y-intercept

step-by-step explanation:

the following points can be visualized easily from the graph

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
