Question

the equation for the line of best fit is ( y = 1.5x + 0.25 ). based on the equation, which of these statements is true? a scarf with 6 colors would likely take about 9 hours to knit. a scarf with 7 colors would likely take about 14 hours to knit.

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute \(x = 6\) into the equation \(y=1.5x + 0.25\)

$$y=1.5\times6+0.25=9 + 0.25=9.25\approx9$$

Step2: Substitute \(x = 7\) into the equation \(y = 1.5x+0.25\)

$$y=1.5\times7+0.25=10.5+0.25 = 10.75 eq14$$

Answer:

A scarf with 6 colors would likely take about 9 hours to knit.
