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: Analyze the equation \(y = 1.2x+2\)

The equation of the line of best - fit is \(y = 1.2x + 2\), where \(x\) is the number of chin - ups at the start of the year and \(y\) is the number of chin - ups at the end of the year.

Step2: Check the first statement

For the first statement, if \(x = 2\), then \(y=1.2\times2 + 2=2.4 + 2=4.4
eq3\)

Step3: Check the second statement

For the second statement, if \(x = 0\) (could not do any chin - ups at the start of the year), then \(y=1.2\times0+2=2\)

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.
