Julie gathered data about the numbers of pages and chapters in several books by her favorite author. The equation of the line of best fit is y = 15.261x + 8.83. Based on the line of best fit, approximately how many pages are predicted to be in a book with 8 chapters? A. 113 B. 122 C. 131 D. 193

C

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the approximate number of pages in the chapters, what we need to do is to substitute for the value of x in the line of best fit equation.

Thus, we have;

y = 15.261(8) + 8.83 = 122.088 + 8.83 = 130.918

This is approximately equal to 131

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?

step-by-step explanation:

a child is 12 years old, and his father is 32 years older. in how many years will the age of the father be 2 times the age of the child?

******************

this needs to be the answer format, or else your answer is incomplete.

if the number of years is x, then the equation is

in __ years
