# Explanation:
## Step1: Substitute $x = 11$ into the equation $y=-1.2x + 17$
$$
\begin{align*}
y&=-1.2\times11+17\
&=-13.2 + 17\
&=3.8\approx4
\end{align*}
$$
## Step2: Substitute $x = 12$ into the equation $y=-1.2x + 17$
$$
\begin{align*}
y&=-1.2\times12+17\
&=-14.4+17\
&=2.6
eq1
\end{align*}
$$

# Answer:
