The line of best fit is y^=142.2x−11,156. This line shows the comparison of house size in comparison to the cost of the house. If the size of the house, 1,800 square feet, gives the cost of $250,000, what is the y^ value given the line of best fit?(1 point)%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0A$250,000%0D%0A$250,000%0D%0A%0D%0A$267,116%0D%0A$267,116%0D%0A%0D%0A$244,804%0D%0A$244,804%0D%0A%0D%0A$2,855,489,760

1 answer

To find the y value given the size of the house (1,800 square feet) on the line of best fit, we substitute x = 1,800 into the equation y^ = 142.2x - 11,156:

y^ = 142.2(1,800) - 11,156
y^ = 255,960 - 11,156
y^ = $244,804

Therefore, the y^ value given the line of best fit for a house size of 1,800 square feet is $244,804.

The correct response is:
$244,804
