Create a scatter plot on paper - it's best to do this on graph paper - using the data relating year and world record time on the 100 meter dash. Let the horizontal axis represent years, t, where t is the number of years after 1900. The vertical axis represents R, the time in seconds of the record 100 meter dash. Use a straight edge to draw the line you think is the best linear model for this data. Write the equation of that line here.
R = =-0.028t+20.8=18

When I completed to read this post, I was in trouble.


Should I really take a straight edge and a paper and do your work instead of you ?


Should I write an equation, while it is just written (incorrectly) in your post ?

After re-reading my post, I have serious doubt, if my writing makes sense at all,
as the only your job is to copy and paste from the given source
and then to submit to the forum, even without reading your submission.

Am I right ?
