1. Calculate the slope of the trend line. (Choose two points on the line and find vertical change over horizontal change.)
2. Using the slope and y-intercept, write the equation of the trend line (y = mx + b).
3. Choose a "calories from fat" value that is not in your collected data set and that is at least 10 fat calories away from any collected value. Use the equation calculated in step to predict the number of fat grams in an item having that number of fat calories. Be sure to show your work.
4. Search for an item in a fast food menu having the same number of fat calories as the one you chose above. (If you cannot find the exact value, get as close as you can.) Compare the calculated value from step VI to this actual value. Explain why (or why not) you would have expected your prediction (calculated value) to be close to the actual value.
