I WILL GIVE YOU ALL MY PIONTS PLUS BRAINLIESTTT PLEASEEEEEE
Michael’s youth group built a catapult that they use to launch pumpkins. Michael gathered data about the weights of several launched pumpkins and the distances they traveled. The scatter plot shows the data he gathered and the line of best fit. VA
The equation of the line of best fit is y = -9.21x + 168.7. Based on the line of best fit, approximately how far is a 5-pound pumpkin predicted to travel when launched by the catapult? A. 18 feet B. 123 feet C. 144 feet D. 214 feet

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the line of best fit

y = - 9.21x + 168.7

Substitute the weight of the pumpkin , that is x = 5, into the equation.

y = - 9.21(5) + 168.7

   = - 46.05 + 168.7

   = 122.65 ≈ 123 feet ( to the nearest foot )
