Answer 2

Answer: 59% (choice D)

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

x = length of the documentary (in minutes)

y = percent of people who finish watching the documentary

We plug in x = 115 to estimate y

y = -0.414*x + 106.55

y = -0.414*115 + 106.55

y = 58.94

y = 59%

We estimate approximately 59% of the viewers will finish watching a documentary if it is 115 minutes long.

Side note:

115 min = 60 min + 55 min = 1 hour + 55 min

In other words, this movie is 5 minutes short of 2 full hours (120 min).
