A geologist gathered data about the total shoreline and maximum depth of several area lakes and organized the data into this table. Total Shoreline (miles) 22 17 10 23 12 35 7 Maximum Depth (feet) 101 85 59 113 64 158 33 She then used a graphing tool to display the data in a scatter plot, with x representing the total miles of shoreline and y representing the maximum depth. She also used the graphing tool to find the equation of the line of best fit: y = 4.26x + 10.908. Based on the line of best fit, what is the approximate maximum depth of a lake that has 31 miles of shoreline? A. 121 feet B. 132 feet C. 138 feet D. 143 feet

Respuesta :

Answer: D. 143

Step-by-step explanation:

31 times 4.26 = 132.06 + 10.908 = 142.968 which simplifies to 143 because you round up.

The best line of fit for the maximum depth of the shoreline would be: D. 143 feet

How to solve for the depth of the shoreline

We have the line of fit as

y = 4.26x + 10.908.

The question has specified x as 31 miles which is the miles of shore line.

We have to solve for the value in the line of best fit

y = 4.26*31 + 10.908

y = 132.06 + 10.908

y = 142.968

This is approximately D. 143 feet
