Two possible solutions are: (4.5, 8.5) and (8, 6.3)
<h3>How to graph the inequality?</h3>Let x represents hours dog walking and y represents hours washing cars.
So, we have:
Earnings = Rate of dog walk * x + Rate of car wash * y
This gives
Earnings = 7x + 11y
He wants to earn at least $125.
This means that:
7x + 11y ≥ 125

ŷ= 1.795x +2.195 is the equation for the line of best fit for the data
<h3>How to use regression to find the equation for the line of best fit?</h3>Consider the table in the image attached:
∑x = 29, ∑y = 74, ∑x²= 125, ∑xy = 288, n = 10 (number data points)
The linear regression equation is of the form:
ŷ = ax + b
where a and b are the slope and y-intercept respectively
a = ( n∑xy -(∑x)(∑y) ) / ( n∑x² - (∑x)² )
a = (10×288 - 29×74) / ( 10×125-29² )
= 2880-2146 / 1250-841
= 734/409
= 1.795
x' = ∑x/n
x' = 29/10 = 2.9
y' = ∑y/n
y' = 74/10 = 7.4
b = y' - ax'
b = 7.4 - 1.795×2.9
= 7.4 - 5.2055
= 2.195
ŷ = ax + b
ŷ= 1.795x +2.195
Therefore, the equation for the line of best fit for the data is ŷ= 1.795x +2.195
