The graph (in comments) gives the data points from an experiment involving oxygen and hydrogen. Which of the following best approximates the equation, with oxygen as a function of hydrogen: O=mH+b A. O = .625 H + 0.75 B. O = 1.6 H - 1.2 C. O = .625 H - 1.2 D. O = 4.0 H + 4.2 E. none of these

@KendrickLamar2014 can you help me?

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

ill do my best

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you <3

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

Its either B or E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright how do i figure out which one?

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

Give me a sec...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its okay thank you!

@jigglypuff314

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

it is in the form y = mx +b where m = slope and b = y-intercept can you estimate about what is the slope and y-intercept of the given graph? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure give me a second :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/3 is slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im a bit confused on this graph.

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

mmm try using points (1,1) and (3,4) to find the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 3/2

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yes. and that is just an estimate but from this we can tell that the slope is supposed to be more than but close to 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

from the options given A. O = .625 H + 0.75 B. O = 1.6 H - 1.2 C. O = .625 H - 1.2 D. O = 4.0 H + 4.2 can you tell which equation has the slope that is more than but close to 1 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually let me do the math quickly. one second instead of guessing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so A?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

more than but close to 1 ^ is 0.625 more than 1? :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh i thought added together more than but close to 1. then the answer would be B.

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yes ^_^
