Question

poem sharing app
the equation for the line of best fit is ( y = 20x - 12 ). according to the equation, which of these statements is true?
a person who shares 12 poems would likely gain about 228 new subscribers.
a person who shares 7 poems would likely gain about 152 new subscribers.

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute \(x = 12\) into the equation \(y=20x - 12\)

$$y=20\times12-12$$
$$y = 240-12$$
$$y=228$$

Step2: Substitute \(x = 7\) into the equation \(y = 20x-12\)

$$y=20\times7-12$$
$$y=140 - 12$$

$$y = 128 eq152$$

Answer:

A. A person who shares 12 poems would likely gain about 228 new subscribers.
