To find the weight of a cheetah that runs 7 miles, we can plug x=7 into the equation y=195-7.3x:

y = 195 - 7.3(7)
y = 195 - 51.1
y = 143.9

Therefore, the weight of a cheetah that runs 7 miles is approximately 143.9 pounds. Since the value of 7 miles falls within the range of the data provided, this is an example of interpolation.
