The line of best fit is y=−53x+5,339

Question

. This line shows the comparison of average temperature to revenue from blanket sales. If the average temperature of 42 degrees give the revenue of $3,200, what is the y
value given the line of best fit?(1 point)
y =
$

Answer 1

To find the \( y \) value given the line of best fit, you can use the equation of the line:

\[ y = -53x + 5,339 \]

Where \( x \) is the average temperature. In this case, \( x = 42 \) degrees.

Now, substituting \( x = 42 \) into the equation:

\[ y = -53(42) + 5,339 \]

Calculating \( -53(42) \):

\[ -53 \times 42 = -2,226 \]

Now substituting that back into the equation:

\[ y = -2,226 + 5,339 \]

Calculating \( -2,226 + 5,339 \):

\[ y = 3,113 \]

Thus, the \( y \) value is:

\[ \boxed{3,113} \]
