Answer:

  58

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked points on the graph show that the number of hot cocoas sold decreases by 6 when the temperature goes up by 6 degrees. That is, the line has a slope of -1. The y-intercept is 100, so the equation of the line can be written as ...

  y = mx +b . . . . . line with slope m and y-intercept b

  y = -x +100

Then for x = 42, the expected value of y is ...

  y = -42 +100 = 58

Mei Mei can expect to sell 58 hot cocoas on a day when the high is 42°F.
