Answer:
option C: 69
Explanation:
We are to find approximately how many pink flowers are predicted to bloom on a shrub with 40 red flowers. The equation given is: y = 1.73x + 0.0924 and we see that red flowers are on the x-axis and pink flowers are on the y-axis.
Since we know there are 40 red flowers and red flowers are on the x-axis, x = 40. Plug into the equation:
y = 1.73x + 0.0924 where x = 40
y = 1.73(40) + 0.0924
y = 69.2 + 0.0924
y = 69.2924
best answer is C. 69.
