A researcher found the average cost of one and two-bedroom apartments for different cities and graphed the data in a scatter plot, with costs of one-bedroom apartments along the x-axis. The variables have a strong linear correlation and the equation for the regression line is = 1.377x + 137.763. Based on the equation, what should the researcher expect for the average cost of a two-bedroom apartment in a city where the average cost of a one-bedroom apartment is $724? about $1272 about $1083 about $1135 about $1062

I am having a tough time try to grasp what the data is telling me. I need to graph the equation.

|dw:1456256429775:dw| =1.377x + 137.763

Yes just plug in the value of the one bedroom apartment into the equation and you will get the answer for the two bedroom apartment.

OpenStudy (retireed):

Plug 724 in for x in 1.377x + 137.763 = cost of two bedroom apartment
