Question

Your home state uses a linear model y= 24(x - 70) + 1274 to predict the number of vacationers (y) as compared to the average temperature for that week (x). Find the number of vacationers predicted for a week with an average temperature of 85 degrees.

Answer 1

y=24(85-70)+1274
y=24(15)=1274
y=360+1274
y=1634
