The number of newly reported crime cases in a county in New York State is shown in the accompanying table, where x represents the number of years since 2008, and y
represents number of new cases. Write the linear regression equation that represents
this set of data, rounding all coefficients to the nearest hundredth. Using this
equation, find the projected number of new cases for 2016, rounded to the nearest
whole number.

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.

step-by-step explanation:

*calories burned = (weight)(calorie factor)*

calories burned = 180 (0.65)

calories burned = 117

the calories he used up is 117, which is 65% of his weight.  

146
