Linear Association with R Value

A restaurant sells pizza for the prices in the data table. Calculate the linear regression equation of the data.

• y = 3/2x + 12

• y = 12x + 1.5

• y = 2/3x - 8

• y = -8x + 0.67

• y = 2/3x + 12

The scatter plot shows the relationship between the number of chapters and the total number of pages for several books.  Use the trend line to predict how many chapters would be in a book with 180 pages. 

• 12 chapters

• 15 chapters

• 18 chapters

• 21 chapters

The linear regression equation is y = 61.93x - 1.79.  Use the equation to predict how far this person will travel after 10 hours of driving.

• 10 miles

• 617.5 miles

• 0.19 miles

• 500 miles

The linear regression equation is y = 61.93x - 1.79.  According to the model, the slope can be interpreted as:

• After 0 hours of driving, they went 61.93 miles.

• They drove at a speed of 61.93 miles per hour.

• They drove 61.93 miles total.

• They drove 61.93 hours total.
