Question

jacob has a part - time job at an ice skating rink selling hot cocoa. he decided to plot the number of hot cocoas he sold relative to the days high temperature and then draw the line of best fit. based on the line of best fit, what would you predict the days high temperature to be if jacob sold 89 hot cocoas?

Explanation:

Step1: Locate 89 on y - axis

Find the value of 89 on the vertical axis (Hot Cocoa Sold).

Step2: Draw horizontal line

Draw a horizontal line from the 89 - mark on the y - axis until it intersects the line of best fit.

Step3: Draw vertical line

From the intersection point on the line of best fit, draw a vertical line down to the x - axis (High Temperature).

Step4: Read x - value

Read the value on the x - axis where the vertical line intersects. It appears to be around 10 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer:

10 degrees Fahrenheit
