Answer:
y = -0.25x + 40 ; $26,000
Step-by-step explanation:
From the graph attached ;
The regression equation, y could be obtained :
y = mx + c
m = slope = Rise / Run = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Slope = (15 - 40) / (100 - 0)
Slope = - 25 / 100
Slope = - 0.25
c = intercept, where the regression line crosses the y-axis, from. The graph, c = 40
The regression equation goes thus :
y = -0.25x + 40 ; y = price of car ; x = number of miles driven
Price of car that has been driven for 56000 miles
y = - 0.25(56) + 40
y = - 14 + 40
y = 26
Hence, price of car is $26,000

This is a composite. Another way to write them is f(g(x)). Take the function g(x) and stick it in for x in f(x). Like this: 
. But we aren't done cuz there's some simplifying there to do. 
and canceling out the 3's we get just a simple x as our answer. The choice is the last one above as your answer.
