Raquel throws darts at a coordinate grid centered at the origin. her goal is to create a line of darts. her darts actually hit the coordinate grid at (–5, 0), (1, –3), (4, 5), (–8, –6), (0, 2), and (9, 6). which equation best approximates the line of best fit of the darts? y = 0.6x + 0.6 y = 0.1x + 0.8 y = 0.8x + 0.1 y = 0.5x + 0.6

Solution:

The points at which Raquel Darts hit the coordinate grid having center at the origin are  (–5, 0), (1, –3), (4, 5), (–8, –6), (0, 2), and (9, 6).

As we can see that not all points are collinear.

As line of best fit is the the line which passes through some points , may be not through the single point, or all the points.

Plotting all the options on coordinate grid i.e on a scatter plot and then determining , the  line of best fit of the darts is

y= 0.6 x + 0.6 →→Option (A), the reason being it passes through a point (9,6).

1. 180°. the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°, for the equilateral triangle that it has three equals side is 60°+60°+60°=180°.

2. 60°. each interior angle of a equilateral triangle is 60°

3. 120°. the measure of ∠m is 120°, the sum of the angles ∠m and ∠n is equal to 180°. so, in order to find the measure of ∠m, we have ∠m+∠n=180° > ∠m=180°-∠n > ∠m=180°-60°=120°.

4. 360°. the sum of the exterior angles of an equilateral triangle is ∠m+∠r+∠x=120°+120°+120°=360°. the exterior angles of any triangle always add 360°.
