Rewrite x2 − 2x − 3 = 0 in the form (x − a)2 = b, where a and b are integers, to determine the a and b values. a = 4 and b = 3 a = 3 and b = 2 a = 2 and b = 1 a = 1 and b = 4

Which of the following is the equation of a line that passes through the point (1,4) and is parallel to the x-axis a. y=1 b. y=4 c. x=1 d. x=4

Which term best describes the association between variables a and b? no association a negative linear association a positive linear association a nonlinear association a scatterplot with an x axis labeled, variable a from zero to ten in increments of two and the y axis labeled, variable b from zero to one hundred forty in increments of twenty with fifteen points in a positive trend.
