4. Consider the points(-5, -2) and (-1, 4).
(a) Find the slope-intercept equation of the line passing through the two given points. Show work.
(b) Graph the line you found in (a), eitherdrawing it on the grid in the previous problem #3, or generating the graph electronically and attaching it.

6.Mike wants to purchase custom-made pens to advertise his business. Two companies offer different deals:

9. Based on data retrieved from https://www.erh.noaa.gov/lwx/climate/dca/dcatemps.txt the following chart of Washington, DC yearly average temperatures has been prepared.
The line of best fit, the regression line, is y = 0.0344x - 10.107, where x = year and y = average Washington, DC temperature, in degrees. The value of r2 is 0.6242.
(a) Use the regression line to estimate the average Washington, DC temperature in 1890, to the nearest tenth of a degree. Show some work.
(b) Use the regression line to predict the average Washington, DC temperature in 2018, to the nearest tenth of a degree. Show some work.
(c) In what year (to the nearest year) does the regression line predict an average Washington, DC temperature of 62.0 degrees? Show work, solving an appropriate equation.
(d) What is the slope of the regression line and what are the units of measurement? In a sentence, interpret what the slope is telling us, in the context of this real-world application.
(e) What is the value of the correlation coefficient, r? Also, interpret its value: Looking at the graph and the size of r, do you judge the strength of the linear relationship to be very strong, moderately strong, somewhat weak, or very weak?
