Question

The equation for the line of best fit is y=2x+2.5. Soon, Edmond is going to a new fair. Use the equation for the line of best fit to predict how many tickets he could purchase for $12.50.

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

The equation of a line is given by :

y=2x+2.5

Where

y is cost and x is number of tickets

Put y = $12.5 in the above equation

So,

12.5=2x+2.5

10 = 2x

x = 5

So, he can purchase 5 tickets.
