. (a-) Graph the function Y= 36/X , assuming that X and Y can take positive values only. Next, suppose that both variables can take negative values as well; how must the graph be modified to reflect this change in assumption?
The predicted value of y_i is
Select one:
O a. the value that y_i takes on when x_i equals 0.
O b. the effect that a one-unit change in the dependent variable is expected to have on the independent variable, holding all else constant.
O c. the value of y_i when the slope is multiplied a specific x_i and then that value is added to the intercept.
O d. the observed value of the dependent variable that is associated with a specific value of the independent variable.
The following is an equation of a straight line: (A): 5y-15x+35=0, What's the slope

Y-axisX-axisBDCA For each of the following scenarios, indicate whether the relationship between the two variables is positive or negative, as well as which line on the previous graph has a slope that reflects this type of relationship. Hint: The X-axis and Y-axis on the graph are not labeled intentionally. You need to substitute the variables from each scenario for the horizontal and vertical axis. For example, in the first scenario, X-axis should be labeled “ ice-cream" and Y-axis should be labeled "The temperature".
