Write an equation for the line of best fit based on the trend line drawn.
y =
x+
Based on the trend line what is the expected value of y when x =
10?
.

1 answer

Based on the trend line drawn, the equation for the line of best fit is:

y = 5x + 30

When x = 10, the expected value of y would be:

y = 5(10) + 30
y = 50 + 30
y = 80

Therefore, the expected value of y when x = 10 is 80.
