In this scatterplot, the horizontal axis indicates years since 2000 and the vertical axis indicates the population
of a pack of wolves. The equation of a trend line is also
given. Use it to predict the population in 2016.

Population of wolves in 2016 = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the line of best fit has been given as,

y = 1.5x - 1

Here, y = population of a pack of wolves

x = duration (in years) since year 2000

Duration between year 2000 and 2016 = 16 years

Now we substitute the value x = 16 in the equation of line of best fit,

y = 1.5(16) - 1

y = 24 - 1

y = 23

Therefore, population of wolves in 2016 = 23
