The graph shows Linda's math scores versus the number of hours spent doing math homework. A graph titled Lindas Math Scores shows Hours of Practice in a Week on x axis and Math Scores on y axis. The x axis scale is shown from 0 to 5 at increments of 1, and the y axis scale is shown from 0 to 50 at increments of 5.The ordered pairs 0, 10 and 0.5, 15 and 1, 20 and 1.5, 18 and 2, 25 and 2.5, 26 and 3, 29 and 3.5, 32 and 4, 35 and 4.5, 45 and 5, 50 are shown on the graph. A straight line joins the ordered pairs 0, 10 and 5, 45.7. What will most likely be Linda's approximate math score if she does math homework for 7 hours a week? 62.5 points 77.5 points 82.5 points 93.5 points

the line of best fit, passes at points \((0,10)\) and \((2,25)\) first step: please write the equation of that line of best fit

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please use the coordinates of the two points above

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

its C ?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I'm sorry, option C is a wrong option

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

so B

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: the equation of the line of best fit is: \[y = \frac{{15}}{2}x + 10\] please replace \(x=7\), what do you get?

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

a

that's right! The predicted values are given by the \(y-\) values of such equation above
