The equation yˆ=−2.58x+566.67 models the distance a driver can see in feet, where x is the age of the driver in years. according to the regression equation, how far can a 30 year old driver see in feet?

A 30 year old driver can see 489.27 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation yˆ=−2.58x+566.67 models the distance a driver can see in feet, where x is the age of the driver in years.

WE need to find out the height when x is 30

Plug in 30 for x  and find out y

y=−2.58x+566.67

Replace x with 30

y=−2.58(30)+566.67 = 489.27

A 30 year old driver can see 489.27 feet

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
