Yolanda created a scatter plot of the relationship between the number of times she visited different friends each month, y, and the distance in miles of the friends from her home, x. She calculated the equation of the trend line to be y = −3.5x + 20. Use this information to predict the number of times in one month Yolanda would visit a friend who is 4 miles from her home.
