Question

select the correct answer. maya collected data about the number of ice cubes and milliliters of juice in several glasses of juice and organized the data into this table. ice cubes 4 2 3 5 5 3 1 juice (milliliters) 177 234 202 140 155 210 265 she used a graphing tool to display the data in a scatter plot, with x representing the number of ice cubes and y representing the milliliters of juice. then she used the graphing tool to find the equation of the line of best fit: y=-29.202x + 293.5. based on the line of best fit, approximately how many milliliters of juice will be in a glass with 7 ice cubes? a. 10 b. 89 c. 118 d. 208

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the given values

The equation of the line of best - fit is $y=-29.202x + 293.5$, and $x = 7$ (number of ice - cubes).

Step2: Substitute $x$ into the equation

Substitute $x = 7$ into $y=-29.202x + 293.5$. So, $y=-29.202\times7+293.5$.
First, calculate $-29.202\times7=-204.414$.
Then, $y=-204.414 + 293.5$.
$y = 89.086\approx89$.

Answer:

B. 89
