Question

the equation for the line of best fit is $y = \frac{1}{25}x$. according to the equation, which of these statements is true?
a 25 - pound dog would likely eat about 1 cup of food per day.
a 65 - pound dog would likely eat about 1.6 cups of food per day.

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute \(x = 25\) into \(y=\frac{1}{25}x\)

$$y=\frac{1}{25}\times25$$

Step2: Calculate the value of \(y\)

$$y = 1$$

Step3: Substitute \(x = 65\) into \(y=\frac{1}{25}x\)

$$y=\frac{1}{25}\times65=\frac{65}{25}=2.6$$

Answer:

A. A 25 - pound dog would likely eat about 1 cup of food per day.
