Question

In an earlier lesson, we saw this graph that shows the percentage of all garbage in the U.S. that was recycled between 1991 and 2013.

1) Sketch a linear function that models the change in the percentage of garbage that was recycled between 1991 and 1995. For which years is the model good at predicting the percentage of garbage that is produced? For which years is it not as good?

2) Pick another time period to model with a sketch of a linear function. For which years is the model good at making predictions? For which years is it not very good?

Answer 1

here we can use mathematics to make an equation but according to the questions rewarded marks we can only determine an sketch of best fit line

and not good in 1993 (predicted as graph is less accurate)

other period is 1995 to 2005

just somewhere you can see an line straight
