Question

2. The table below represents the total members at

a new gym at the end of each month since it
opened on March 1st. Using a linear equation of
best fit, approximately how many members can
they expect by the end of December?
Month March
552
Members
A. 2,417
B. 2,498
April
709
C. 2,523
D. 2,584
May
June
938
1,175
y = 193x-27

Answer 1

By the end of December, the gym can expect approximately 1,903 members.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the approximate number of members expected by the end of December, we need to determine the month number for December and substitute it into the linear equation of best fit.

Since March is the first month, December would be the 10th month.

Plugging in x = 10 into the equation:

y = 193x - 27, we get y = 193 * 10 - 27

= 1930 - 27

= 1903.

Therefore, by the end of December, the gym can expect approximately 1,903 members.
