The scatter plot that shows the cost of long distance phone call is an illustration of a linear regression
Part A: Draw a line of best fit
See attachment for the line of best fit
Part B: The equation in slope intercept form
From the attached graph, the line passes through the points:
(x,y) = (0,0) and (40,4)
The equation is then calculated using:
y = y2/y1 * x
This gives
y = 4/40 * x
Evaluate
y = 0.1x
Part C: Predict the cost of long distance call of 120 minutes
This means that x = 120
So, we have:
y = 0.1 * 120
y = 12
Hence, the predicted cost of long distance call of 120 minutes is $12
Part D: Explanation of C
The answer in part C is calculated by substituting 120 for x in the equation of the line of best fit
