Answer:

48.6

Explanation:

Given the equation for the line of best fit ; f(x) ≈ 1.8x − 5.4 ;

This equation is used to make prediction for any given value of x ; Here, we are to make prediction for when x = 30

f(x) ≈ 1.8x − 5.4 ; we substitute into the equation, x = 30

f(30) = 1.8(30) - 5.4

f(30) = 54 - 5.4 = 48.6

Prediction at x = 30 is 48.6
