The scatterplot shows the number of home runs Mario hits during his first four seasons on the company softball team. If his output continues to follow the linear model, approximately how many home runs will Mario hit during his ninth season?

I can’t see the image you referenced (mc003-1.jpg). Can you upload it or list the four (season, home runs) points from the scatterplot?

How to get the answer once you give the points:
1. Pick two clear points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on the linear trend and compute slope m = (y2 − y1)/(x2 − x1).
2. Use y = y1 + m*(9 − x1) to predict season 9.

Example: if the trend is +5 home runs per season and season 4 is 25, then season 9 ≈ 25 + 5·5 = 50.
