Answer:
58
Explanation:
The marked points on the graph show that the number of hot cocoas sold decreases by 6 when the temperature goes up by 6 degrees. That is, the line has a slope of -1. The y-intercept is 100, so the equation of the line can be written as ...
y = mx +b . . . . . line with slope m and y-intercept b
y = -x +100
Then for x = 42, the expected value of y is ...
y = -42 +100 = 58
Mei Mei can expect to sell 58 hot cocoas on a day when the high is 42°F.
