What does the trend line tell you about the relationship between students' algebra test scores and the number of texts they sent the day before the test? Is there a positive, negative or no association?

Is it linear or nonlinear?

Asmall (but heavy) particle placed in a glass of water will follow a zigzag motion because the particle will bounce off of the water molecules it meets. this is called brownian motion. a physicist simulates this on a computer, by varying the distance a particle can travel (called the mean free length), on average, before it collides with a water molecule and assigning the change in motion to be one of 8 directions, each with a similar probability. by running the simulated particle (with the same mean free length) many times she determines that it should take 15 seconds, on average, for the particle to fall to the bottom, with a standard deviation of 1.5 seconds. next she lets a real particle fall through a glass of water and finds that it took 18 seconds. what does she conclude, and why?

Question: what is the value of x 4x-2= (-7) +5x. it would be greatly appreciated if someone could actually explain to me step by step

Given the points a(-2, 1) and b(8, 6), find the coordinates of the point c on directed line segment ab, that partitions ab in the ration 2: 3.
