HELP ASAP (100 POINTS)

The equation for the line of best fit for change in temperature, y, to amount of snow, s, is given by ŷ = − 2.6s + 1.1. On Friday, the observed amount of snow was 1.3 inches and the temperature change was 1.2 degrees. Find and interpret the residual.

1.08; The line of best fit underpredicts the temperature change.
−1.08; The line of best fit overpredicts the temperature change.
−3.48; The line of best fit overpredicts the temperature change.
3.48; The line of best fit underpredicts the temperature change.

Answer 2

3.48;

The line of best fit underpredicts the temperature change.

Explanation:

ŷ = − 2.6s + 1.1.

residual value = Measured value - Predicted value

Measured value = actual y-coordinate of the point, y

Predicted value = value of y from the equation, y1

residual value = (actual y-coordinate of the point, y) - (value of y from the equation, y1)

residual value = y - y1

For s = 1.3

y = 1.2

value of y from the equation, y1:

y1 = -2.6*(1.3) + 1.1

y1 = -3.38 + 1.1

y1 = -2.28

residual value = y - y1

residual value = 1.2 - -2.28

residual value = 1.2 + 2.28

residual value = 3.48

Interpretation:

Since the predicted value is far less than the observed value, the line of best fit underpredicts the temperature change.
