Question

Based on the scatterplot below, what is the most likely value for “Pounds of Apples” when “Number of Apples” is 80?

Answer 1

Answer:

42                           Option(A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here scattered graph is given.  

x-axis represents the Number of Apples

y-axis represents the Pounds of Apples.

Find the slope of scattered line.

Slope(m) = (Change in y)/(Change in x)

m=$\frac{25-5}{45-9}$

m=$\frac{20}{36}=\frac{5}{9}$

now equation of line:

y - y₁ = m(x-x₁)

$y-5=\frac{5}{9}(x-25)$

Now put x =80 in this equation and solve for y

$y-5=\frac{5}{9}(80-25)$

y = 42.6

or

y ≈42

So, Number of apples = 42

That's the final answer.
