Question

The data in the table compares x, the number of pages in a chapter, to y, the amount of time, in minutes, spent reading. The function y = 0.86x – 0.09 models the data in the table

Which is the best prediction for the number of pages in a chapter that takes 18 minutes to read?
15
17
19
21

Answer 1

21
18=0.86x - 0.09 Put 18 as the y value and solve for x
18.09=0.86x Add 0.09 on both sides.
21.03=x Then divide on both sides by 086
