do 5/6*6 then add 10

OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):

If you substitute \(x=6\) into the line of best fit \(f(x) = \dfrac{5}{6}x +10\) that will give you the answer the problem is seeking. If you know how to substitute and simplify this will be an easy problem. The hard part is understanding what the blue dots and red line mean. The idea is that the red line *approximates* how many vacation days an employee has vs how many years they've worked at the company. Note how almost none of the blue dots are exactly on the red line, but the red line is "close enough to all the blue lines" to make it a good fit. :)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Look at the line..

OpenStudy (igreen):

See 6 on the bottom of the graph?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Go all the way up to the line and then go all the way to the left. What number do you see?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C? @tylermcmullen23 @iGreen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (igreen):

Correct, the point on the line when x is 6 is (6, 15) so 15 days is your answer.

THANK YOU!!!

@tylermcmullen23 is this correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
