4. A horizontal line has no slope.

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is incorrect to say that a horizontal line has no slope.

Step by step solution

01

Concept Introduction

The x-axis of the coordinate plane is formed by a horizontal line parallel to the left and right axes. The y-coordinate of every point along the line is the same.

02

Explanation 

The horizontal line y=4should be taken into consideration,

The slope is computed using the (arbitrary) points(-2,4)and (4,4)from the line:

localid="1650971199307" m=4鈭�44鈭�(鈭�2)=06=0

A line with a slope of zero is horizontal, and a horizontal line suggests that you will obtain a slope of zero.

4.76 PCBs and Pelicans, Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), industrial pollutants, are known to be carcinogens and a great danger to natural ecosystems. As a result of several studies, PCB production was banned in the United States in 1979and by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in 2001. One study, published in 1972 by R. Risebrough, is titled "Effects of Environmental Pollutants Upon Animals Other Than Man" (Proceedings of the 6th Berkeley Symposium on Mathematics and Statistics, Vl, University of California Press, Pp. 443-463). In that study, 60Anacapa pelican eggs were collected and measured for their shell thickness, in millimeters (mm), and concentration of PCBs, in parts per million (ppm). The data are on the Weiss Stats site.

a. Obtain a scatterplot for the data.

b. Decide whether finding a regression line for the data is reasonable. If so, then also do parts (c)-(f).
