Question

A computer program found that the line c=2t−89c=2t−89c=2t−89 is a good fit for the data. Use this equation to predict how many cups of lemonade Lin might sell on a day when the high temperature is 74 degrees.

Answer 1

58cups

Explanation:

Given the equation for the line as c = 2t - 89

If the temperature is 74 degrees, then we can find the number of cups at this temperature;

Substitute t = 74 unti the expression

x = 2(74) - 89

c = 147 - 89

c = 58cups

Hence the number of cups of lemonade is 58cups
