Question

Use the linear model to make a prediction. The line of best fit y=0.37x+5
represents the tolls you pay after driving a specific number of miles. How much would it cost, in exact change, to travel 70 miles?(1 point)
It would cost $
to travel 70 miles.

Answer 1

To find the cost of traveling 70 miles using the given linear model \( y = 0.37x + 5 \), we need to substitute \( x = 70 \) into the equation.

\[
y = 0.37(70) + 5
\]

Now, we calculate:

\[
y = 25.9 + 5
\]
\[
y = 30.9
\]

Thus, it would cost $30.90 to travel 70 miles.

So the answer is:
It would cost $30.90 to travel 70 miles.
