Find a linear equation whose graph is the straight line with the given properties. Through \((p, q)\) and parallel to \(y=r x+s\)
Find a linear equation whose graph is the straight line with the given properties. Through \(\left(0,-\frac{1}{3}\right)\) with slope \(\frac{1}{3}\)
The quantities \(Q\) and \(T\) are related by a linear equation of the form $$ Q=m T+b . $$ When \(T=0, Q\) is positive, but decreases to a negative quantity when \(T\) is 10 . What are the signs of \(m\) and \(b\). Explain your answers.
Use technology to compute the sum-ofsquares error (SSE) for the given set of data and linear models. Indicate which linear model gives the better fit. $$ (1,1),(2,2),(3,4) ; \quad \text { a. } y=1.5 x-1 \quad \text { b. } y=2 x-1.5 $$
Following are forecasts of worldwide annual cell phone handset sales: \(^{45}\) $$ \begin{array}{|r|c|c|c|} \hline \text { Year } \boldsymbol{x} & 3 & 5 & 7 \\ \hline \text { Sales } \boldsymbol{y} \text { (millions) } & 500 & 600 & 800 \\\ \hline \end{array} $$ \((x=3\) represents 2003). Complete the following table and obtain the associated regression line. (Round coefficients to 2 decimal places.) HINT [See Example 3.] $$ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline & x & y & x y & x^{2} \\ \hline & 3 & 500 & & \\ \hline & 5 & 600 & & \\ \hline & 7 & 800 & & \\ \hline \text { Total } & & & \\ \hline \end{array} $$ Use your regression equation to project the 2008 sales.
