it might be best to draw it out or to use MS paint or something

but what you want to do is extend the line as far as you can to the right

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

then see which point is on the graph when x = 5

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

does that make sense?

gabylovesyou · Answer

but how would i know ? since the points dont have a pattern

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

you're basing it off the line of best fit

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

since that's a close approximation

gabylovesyou · Answer

hmmmm im a little confused :p

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

ok I copied your image and I opened it in paint

then I drew a red line over the current black line and extended it (see pic)

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

based on your best guess, and using the graph I just posted, what is the y coordinate of the point on the red line when x = 5

gabylovesyou · Answer

49 ?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

that or 48, that's pretty close and you could argue either way

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

unfortunately there are no choices to choose from (or eliminate) and it's a fill in the blank...hopefully they'll allow some wiggle room

gabylovesyou · Answer

what should i put ? 49 or 48 ?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

I'll leave it up to you, either one works in my opinion since this is educated guesswork anyway

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

and the system isn't providing answer choices...so maybe there are multiple correct possible answers to enter

if you get it wrong, you can just tell the teacher and I'm sure s/he will give you some points because you were close and because the computer is picky
