Question

based on the line of best fit, what is the mileage of a 12 - year - old car?
a. 180,000 miles
b. 225,000 miles
c. 112,500 miles
d. 90,000 miles

Explanation:

Step1: Locate \(x = 12\) on the x - axis

Find the value of \(x = 12\) (age of car in years) on the horizontal axis.

Step2: Follow the line of best fit vertically

Move up from \(x = 12\) along the line of best fit until you reach the y - axis (overall mileage).

Step3: Read the y - value

The y - value corresponding to \(x = 12\) on the line of best fit is \(180000\).

Answer:

A. 180,000 miles
