Question

Based on the scatterplot below, what is the most likely value for “Pounds of Apples” when “Number of Apples” is 80?

(Graph Below)

A. 42
B. 81
C. 158
D. 398

Answer 1

its A .....................................

Answer 2

42 Option(A)

Explanation:

Here scattered graph is given.

x-axis represents the Number of Apples

y-axis represents the Pounds of Apples.

Find the slope of scattered line.

Slope(m) = (Change in y)/(Change in x)

m=
`(25-5)/(45-9)`

m=
`(20)/(36)=(5)/(9)`

now equation of line:

y - y₁ = m(x-x₁)

`y-5=(5)/(9)(x-25)`

Now put x =80 in this equation and solve for y

`y-5=(5)/(9)(80-25)`

y = 42.6

or

y ≈42

So, Number of apples = 42

That's the final answer.
