Question

12 based on the scatter plot, predict the value of x when y = 5. a) 9 b) 2 c) 6 d) 12 15 based on the scatter plot, predict the value of x when y = 8.

Explanation:

Step1: Locate \( y = 5 \) on the \( y - axis \)

Move horizontally to find the corresponding \( x - value \) on the scatter - plot.

Step2: Check the \( x - value \)

By observing the scatter - plot, when \( y = 5 \), the \( x - value \) is closest to \( 6 \).

Step3: Locate \( y = 8 \) on the \( y - axis \)

Move horizontally to find the corresponding \( x - value \) on the scatter - plot.

Step4: Check the \( x - value \)

By observing the scatter - plot, when \( y = 8 \), the \( x - value \) is closest to \( 1 \).

Answer:

1. C) 6
2. \( x = 1 \)
