Question

pet dogs
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 \(y=\frac{1}{25}x\)

When \(x = 25\), \(y=\frac{1}{25}\times25\)

Step2: Calculate the value of \(y\)

\(y = 1\)

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

When \(x = 65\), \(y=\frac{1}{25}\times65=\frac{65}{25}=2.6
eq1.6\)

Answer:

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