Ben collected data from a group of 12 people. He measured each person’s resting heart rate and recorded the average number of ho
urs each person exercised per week. He created a scatterplot to show the data he collected.
Based on the scatterplot, what is the best prediction of the resting heart rate, in beats per minute, of a person who exercises an average of 8 hours each week?
A. 55 beats per minute
B. 60 beats per minute
C. 50 beats per minute
D. 30 beats per minute

We are asked to find the equation of the line, using the given information:
, which is the slope
which is a point that the line contains
- The slope is the number before x, in the form
.
Since "m" is the slope, and we're given what the slope is, we can substitute -3 for m:
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Now, we need to find the y intercept, "b", of the line.
Here's how it's done:
Remember the point that the line contains, (1,2)?
Well, its y-coordinate is 2; so what we do is substitute 2 for y:
Also, its x-coordinate is 1, so we substitute 1 for x:
Now, solve for b:
Add 3 to both sides:
Thus, we have
Thus, the equation of the line is:
