Question

A scatter plot containing the point (6, 8) has the regression equation y=6x+4

What is the resident e when x=6?
e=?

Answer 1

the answer is -32 (just took the test with this question)

Answer 2

We are tasked to solve for the resident e in the given expression y = 6x
= 4 when the value of x is equal to 6. Assuming that resident e is just the same with y value when x is 6. Thus, the solution is shown below:
y = 6x + 4 when x=6, we have:
y = (6*6) + 4
y = 36 + 4
y =40

The answer is 40.
