A meteorologist collected data on a recent snowfall, the meteorologist graph the data and found the equation of the trendline to be y=1.7+0.1 if the snowfall continues at this place, use the equation to predict the number of inches of snow after 10 hours round to the nearest 10th

1 answer

To predict the number of inches of snow after 10 hours using the equation y = 1.7 + 0.1t, we can substitute t = 10 into the equation:

y = 1.7 + 0.1 × 10
= 1.7 + 1
= 2.7

Therefore, the predicted number of inches of snow after 10 hours is approximately 2.7 inches.
