An agricultural scientist collected data to study the relationship between the amount of nitrogen added to a comfield and the number of bushels of com produced. This is the regression line of the data, where y is measured in bushes and is measured in pounds of nitrogen
0.43
What is the meaning of the intercept of the regression line?
O A When no nitrogen is added to the field, 28.7 bushels of corn are produced
When 28.7 pounds of nitrogen is added to the held, no bushels of corn are produced
When 0.43 pounds of nitrogen is added to the field. 28.7 bushels of corn are produced
B. When 38.7 pounds of nitrogen is added to the field, 0.43 bushels of com are produced

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 %

sorry but i cant draw that

step-by-step explanation:

the distance (d) between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by the formula

d = √   ((x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2)

d = √ (-11-6)2+(4-3)2

d = √ )2+(1)2)

d = √ (289+1)

d = √ 290

the distance between the points is 17.0293863659264

the midpoint of two points is given by the formula

midpoint= ((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)

find the x value of the midpoint

xm=(x1+x2)/2

xm=(6+-11)/2=-2.5

find the y value of the midpoint

ym=(y1+y2)/2

ym=(3+4)/2=3.5

the midpoint is: (-2.5,3.5)

graphing the two points, midpoint and distance

p1 (6,3)

p2 (-11,4)

midpoint (-2.5,3.5)

the length of the black line is the distance between the points (17.0293863659264)

find the slope of the line connecting the two points

slope =   (y2-y1)   =   (4-3)   =   (1)   = -0.0588235294117647

(x2-x1) (-11-6) (-17)

find the equation of the line passing through the two points

the general equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b

where m represents the slope of the line which we found in the previous step to be -0.0588235294117647

y = -0.06x + b

we substitute x and y for the values from one of our points (6,3)

3 = -.06×6 + b

3 = -0.35 + b

3--0.35 = b

3.35 = b

knowing both b and m, we can contruct the equation of the line

y= -0.06x+ 3.35

x and y intercepts

the x-intercept is a point on the graph where y is zero

using the equation we found in the previous step and substituting zero for y

y= -0.06x+ 3.35

0= -0.06x+ 3.35

0.06x= 3.35

x= 3.35/0.06 = 57.00

the x intercept for this straight line is 57.00

the y-intercept is a point on the graph where x is zero

using the equation we found in the previous step and substituting zero for x

y= -0.06×0+ 3.35

y= 3.35

the y intercept for this straight line is 57.00

the distance (d) between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by the formula

d = √   ((x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2)

d = √ (-11-6)2+(4-3)2

d = √ )2+(1)2)

d = √ (289+1)

d = √ 290

the distance between the points is 17.0293863659264

the midpoint of two points is given by the formula

midpoint= ((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)

find the x value of the midpoint

xm=(x1+x2)/2

xm=(6+-11)/2=-2.5

find the y value of the midpoint

ym=(y1+y2)/2

ym=(3+4)/2=3.5

the midpoint is: (-2.5,3.5)

graphing the two points, midpoint and distance

p1 (6,3)

p2 (-11,4)

midpoint (-2.5,3.5)

the length of the black line is the distance between the points (17.0293863659264)

find the slope of the line connecting the two points

slope =   (y2-y1)   =   (4-3)   =   (1)   = -0.0588235294117647

(x2-x1) (-11-6) (-17)

find the equation of the line passing through the two points

the general equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b

where m represents the slope of the line which we found in the previous step to be -0.0588235294117647

y = -0.06x + b

we substitute x and y for the values from one of our points (6,3)

3 = -.06×6 + b

3 = -0.35 + b

3--0.35 = b

3.35 = b

knowing both b and m, we can contruct the equation of the line

y= -0.06x+ 3.35

x and y intercepts

the x-intercept is a point on the graph where y is zero

using the equation we found in the previous step and substituting zero for y

y= -0.06x+ 3.35

0= -0.06x+ 3.35

0.06x= 3.35

x= 3.35/0.06 = 57.00

the x intercept for this straight line is 57.00

the y-intercept is a point on the graph where x is zero

using the equation we found in the previous step and substituting zero for x

y= -0.06×0+ 3.35

y= 3.35

the y intercept for this straight line is 57.00 and therefore the awnser is c.
