A meteorologist collected data on a recent snowfall, the meteorologist Graph the data and found the equation of the trend line to be Y equals 1.7 X +0.1 if the snowfall continues at this pace, use the equation to predict the number of inches of snowfall after 10 hours round to the nearest 10th
A) 10
B) 17.1
C) 21.4
D) 15
To predict the number of inches of snowfall after 10 hours using the equation Y = 1.7X + 0.1, substitute X = 10 into the equation:
Y = 1.7(10) + 0.1
Y = 17 + 0.1
Y = 17.1
So, the predicted number of inches of snowfall after 10 hours is 17.1 inches.
Therefore, the answer is B) 17.1.
