Question

Up and Running Auto Shop keeps track of their regular customers' data to see if there is a relationship between the life of a car's engine (y) and the number of times the oil is changed (x). When the data is shown on a scatter plot, the equation for the line of best fit is y = 0.4125x + 0.1576. What is the relationship between 0.4125 and the life of the car's engine?

Answer 1

there is the equation

y = 0,4125x +0,1576

question : what is the relationship between 0,4125 and the life of the car's engine what is y ?
- like a first step subtract from both sides 0,1576 and get

y - 0,1576 = 0,4125x and now divide both sides by x and get

(y - 0,1576)/x = 0,4125

hope understood it and helped correct
