so for my maths assignment we are given points to plot then it says this:
model 1- Linear
-Plot the data given (done)
- Use technology to find an approximate linear model of the form
A(d) = bd+c, where:
b, c are constants
A(d)= accuracy as a function of distance, and
d= distance from hoop post

My thing is about basketballers by the way. Basically, I don't know how to find the values of A, d, b and c because my linear model is y=mx+c not A(d)= bd+c

Thankyou!!!

A(d)= bd+c and y=mx+c are the same things. y substituted with a(d), m substituted with b and x substituted with d..

oh really? Sorry it was a dumb question but thakyou!!

yrelhan4 · Answer

yeah i can even write z=fd+c.. but conventionally we write y=mx+x
You're welcome.
