PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Question 1:

(A) 22.5 weeks

Question 2:

(A) 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

Given:

The line of best fit is given as:

$y=1.12x+28.78$

Where,

$x\to age\ in\ weeks\\\\y\to height\ in\ centimeters$

Height of the puppy (y) = 54 cm

Now, plug in the value of 'y' and solve for 'x'. This gives,

$54=1.12x+28.78\\\\54-28.78=1.12x\\\\25.22=1.12x\\\\x=\frac{25.22}{1.12}=22.5\ weeks$

Therefore, the puppy was 22.5 weeks old when he was 54 cm tall.

Question 2:

The line of best fit is given as:

$y=0.32x-20.51$

Where,

$x\to number\ of\ times\ at\ bat\\\\y\to number\ of\ hits$

Number of times at bat (x) = 175

Now, plug in the value of 'x' and solve for 'y'. This gives,

$y=0.32\times 175-20.51=35.49\approx 35$

Therefore, the number of hits is 35 to the nearest whole number.
