Question

The scatter plot shows a scuba diver's depth in the ocean. The equation of the trend link shown is y = -3.29x - 10. Predict what the diver's depth will be after 30 minutes.

Answer 1

It's not given a scatter plot not the characteristics of the variables, but it can be safely assumed as shown below

Answer:

The diver's depth will be -42.9 after 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the trend (or best fit line) for the scuba diver's depth in the ocean is:

y = -3.29x - 10

Where y is the diver's depth and x is the time in minutes.

To predict the diver's depth at x=30 minutes, substitute in the equation:

y = -3.29(10) - 10

y = -32.9 - 10

y = -42.9

Since no units are provided for y, the answer is:

The diver's depth will be -42.9 after 30 minutes
