To predict the number of inches of snowfall after 10 hours using the equation y = 1.7x + 0.1, we substitute x = 10 into the equation:
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 17.1 inches.
So, the correct answer is b) 17.1.
A meteorologist collected data on a recent snowfall the meteorologist graph the data and found the equation of the trend line to be y = 1.7 x + 0.1 if the snowfall continues at this pace use the equation to predict the number of inches of snowfall after 10 hours round to the nearest tenth a 10 b 17.1 c 21.4 D15
