Use the table to answer the question.

x (hours on the road) y (cost of trip)
8 $125
5 $76
3 $46
1 $24
0.5 $10


The price spent on a road trip is based on the length of the road trip. The line of best fit for the data is y=4.3+14.8x
. Using the equation for the line of best fit, find the money spent on a 6-hour road trip and state whether extrapolation or interpolation is being used.

y = 4.3 + 14.8(6) = 4.3 + 88.8 = $93.10. This is interpolation (6 is within the data range 0.5–8).
