Use the table to answer the question.

This table shows the relationship between miles run (x) and weight in pounds (y), indicating how weight changes with running distance.
x
(Miles Run) y
(Weight in Pounds)
10 130
1 200
3 167
5 145
8 135
The weight of a cheetah can be based on the number of miles they run a day. The line of best fit for this dataset is y=195−7.3x
. The table represents the scatterplot of data. Find the weight of a cheetah that runs 7 miles, and state whether extrapolation or interpolation is occurring.

Work: y = 195 − 7.3(7) = 195 − 51.1 = 143.9. Since 7 is within the data range (1–10), this is interpolation.
