A hiking club goes on 10 different hikes. The scatter
plot shows the data for the distance of each hike
and the time it takes to complete it. The equation of
the line of fit is y = 30.9x+2. Which statements are
true about the data? Select all that apply.
The line of fit predicts that a 3.25-mile hike will
take about 30.9 minutes to complete.
B The line of fit predicts that a 2.75-mile hike will
take about 87 minutes to complete.
C If it takes 120 minutes to complete the hike, the
line of fit predicts the distance of the hike as
exactly 4 miles.
D The line of fit predicts that a hike that takes
45 minutes to complete is about 1.4 miles long.
E In general, the farther the hike, the longer it
takes to complete.
