Question

Use the trend line to predict what the value of variable N will be when variable M equals 50.

N = _________


Please provide explanation!!!

Answer 1

N = 10

Explanation:

Normally the coordinate system goes:

x axis (horizontal)

y axis (vertical)

Here, we have:

Horizontal axis as "M", and

Vertical axis as "N"

We want to know what N will be when M equals 50.

So, we look at the x-axis and go to M equals 50.

Then we move up until the "trend line". The intersection.

If we move directly left to vertical axis (N variable), we see that it is at the point:

N = 10

So,

When M = 50, N = 10
