Question

Please help!! Over several years, Stephon gathered data about his age and the time it took him to run two laps on the school track. The scatter plot shows the data he gathered and the line of best fit. The equation of the line of best fit is y = -2.1x + 565.6. Based on the line of best fit, approximately how long will it take Stephon to run two laps on the track when he is 192 months old?

Answer 1

Answer:

Time taken by Stephen = 162 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Stephan gathered data which fits in the line of best fit,

y = -2.1x + 565.6

Where x represents the age (in months)

And y represents the time (in seconds) taken by Stephen to run two laps on the track.

Time taken to run 2 laps at the age of 192 months,

By substituting x = 192 months,

y = -2.1(192) + 565.6

  = -403.2 + 565.6

  = 162.4 seconds

  ≈ 162 seconds

Therefore, time taken by Stephen to cover 2 laps was 162 seconds when he was 192 months old.
