Question

the equation for the line of best fit is y = 1.2x + 2. according to the equation, which of these statements is true? a student who could do 2 chin - ups at the start of the year could likely do about 3 chin - ups at the end of the year. a student who could not do any chin - ups at the start of the year could likely do about 2 chin - ups at the end of the year.

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute \(x = 2\) into the equation \(y=1.2x + 2\)

Substitute \(x = 2\) into \(y = 1.2x+2\). Then \(y=1.2\times2 + 2=2.4 + 2=4.4
eq3\).

Step2: Substitute \(x = 0\) into the equation \(y = 1.2x+2\)

Substitute \(x = 0\) into \(y=1.2x + 2\). Then \(y=1.2\times0+2=0 + 2=2\).

Answer:

A student who could not do any chin - ups at the start of the year could likely do about 2 chin - ups at the end of the year.
