A nationwide club begins a chapter near you. You research the membership of the club over the past few decades. The table shows your data. What is the equation for a line of best fit? How many members would you expect
there to be in the year 2022?

Option (d)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given table,

Number of members in 1980 (t = 0) were 5400.

With the period of time number of members increased.

Let the number of years after 1980 = x

Therefore, line of best fit will be in the form of y = mx + b

Where b = Initial number of members = 5400

m = Increase in members in every 5 years duration

So the equation will be,

y = mx + 5400

From the given options,

Equation which matches to our equation is,

y = 310.58x + 5400

For the number of members in year 2022,

x = 2022 - 1980 = 42 years

y = 310.58(42) + 5400

y = 18445

Option (d) will be the answer.

i just took the test, the correct answer is .. 31.5 in.

w'x is 0.

hope it
