The residual equation for the point ( 4, 13) will be -4.5. so option A is correct.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.

Given regression equation;

y = 5x – 2.5

The predicted value from the model can be calculated by substituting x with 4 in the regression equation;

y = 5(4) - 2.5

y = 17.5

The actual value when x is 4 given as 13.

The residual is simply the difference between the actual and the predicted value which is;

residual = actual value - predicted value

residual = 13 - 17.5

residual = -4.5

Hence, the residual equation for the point ( 4, 13) will be -4.5. so option A is correct.
