A real estate agent made a scatter plot with homeowners' property taxes on the y-axis and the sizes of their homes, in square feet, on the x-axis. The variables have a strong linear correlation and the equation for the least squares regression line is = 1.792x + 1436.193.

Based on the equation, what should the agent expect the property taxes to be for a 1600-square-foot home in the area?

$5138.02
