The equation for the line of best fit is y = -3.32x + 97.05.
Based on the line of best fit, what would be the prediction for the average temperature during a month with 13.25 inches of rainfall?

53.06°F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation of best fit :

y=-3.32x +97.05.

The average temperature for a month with 13.25 inches of Rainfall

Amount of Rainfall = x

Average temperature = y

To make our prediction ; put x = 13.25 in the equation and solve for y ;

y = -3.32x +97.05

Put x = 13.25

y = -3.32(13.25) +97.05

y = - 43.99 + 97.05

y = 53.06°F
