Find the residual of the data point (4,14.59)
Round the answer to the nearest thousandths.
First, we need to calculate the predicted value using the equation of the line. If the equation of the line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, we need to find these values using the given data points.
Let's assume that the equation is in the form y = mx + b. Given that the data point (4, 14.59) lies on the line, we can plug in the values x = 4 and y = 14.59 into the equation:
14.59 = 4m + b
Now, we need another data point to help us solve for m and b. If we don't have any other data points, we can't determine an exact equation and consequently can't calculate an accurate residual.
If you have a specified equation of a line, you can apply the formula to calculate the predicted value, which is the y value on the line at x = 4. Then, subtract this predicted value from the actual value (14.59) to find the residual. Round the residual to the nearest thousandth.
