The scatter plot shows the systolic blood pressure of people of several different ages. The equation represents the linear model for this data.



y = x + 95



According to the model, what is the systolic blood pressure of a newborn?


0 mm Hg

55 mm Hg

95 mm Hg

110 mm Hg

160 mm Hg

Answer 1

According to this graph the answer should be 0 mm Hg

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

95 mm Hg

Explanation:

We can see on the graph that when x=0 (newborn), the graph is at y=95.

Additionally, if we plug 0 in for x in the equation, we have

y = 0+95 = 95
