Question

She used a graphing tool to display the data in a scatter plot, with x representing the number of ice cubes and y representing the milliliters of juice. Then she used the graphing tool to find the equation of the line of best fit:
y = -29.202x + 293.5.

Based on the line of best fit, approximately how many milliliters of juice will be in a glass with 7 ice cubes?

Answer 1

The glass will contain 89.086 milliliters of juice with 7 ice cubes, using the equation of the line of best fit, y =  -29.202x + 293.5.

In the question, we are informed that the equation of the line of best fit, for the, scatter plot with x representing the number of ice cubes and y representing the milliliters of juice is given as y =  -29.202x + 293.5.

We are asked to tell how many milliliters of juice will be in a glass with 7 ice cubes based on the line of best fit.

To find the milliliters of juice in the glass with 7 ice cubes, we substitute x = 7, in the equation of the line of best fit, to get a value of y, representing the milliliters of juice in the glass.

Thus,

y =  -29.202x + 293.5,

or, y =  -29.202(7) + 293.5 {Substituting x = 7},

or, y = -204.414 + 293.5,

or, y = 89.086.

Thus, the glass will contain 89.086 milliliters of juice with 7 ice cubes, using the equation of the line of best fit, y =  -29.202x + 293.5.
