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

1 answer

To predict the number of inches of snowfall after 10 hours using the equation Y = 1.7X + 0.1, we plug in X = 10:

Y = 1.7(10) + 0.1
Y = 17 + 0.1
Y = 17.1

Therefore, the predicted number of inches of snowfall after 10 hours is approximately 17.1 inches.
