The following linear equation represents the line of best fit for the following scatter plot y=0.15x-1.5

Use the equation to answer the following questions. Predict the amount of home runs a player would have if they hit 200 times.

A) 25 home runs
B) 1,366 home runs
C) 28.5 home runs
D) 30 home runs

C) 28.5 home runs

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

y = home runs

x = hits

[Best Line of Fit] y = 0.15x - 1.5

We can use this to predict the average of the scatter plot.

hits = x = 200 times

Step 2: Solve for y home runs

Remember that this is only a prediction. Actual data can vary. The best line of fit tells us that if a player hits 200 times, we would get approximately 28.5 home runs.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are given the equation to this graph, we need to substitute a value in to get the output of the function.

Since the question is asking us how many home runs a player will earn if they hit 200 times, and we know that the x value is the number of hits, we can substitute 200 into the equation as x and find the value of y.

Therefore, 28.5 home runs would be scored with 200 hits.

Hope this helped!

idk the answer i want to say 10 but then it would be equal so try 9 but then yeah so yeah we love edgen
