The scatter plot below can be used to find the approximate rate at which water flows through a garden hose. The line of best fit for the scatter plot can be described by the equation y = 4/5x. If the rate, in gallons per minute, continues, approximately how many gallons of water will flow from the hose in 45 minutes?

Answer:

[tex]36\ \text{gallons per unit}[/tex] will flow from the hose in 45 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of best fit for the scatter plot can be described by the equation :

[tex]y=\dfrac{4}{5}x[/tex]

y is amount of water in gallons

x is time

When x = 45 minutes, put x = 45 in above formula as :

[tex]y=\dfrac{4}{5}\times 45\\\\y=36\ \text{gallons per unit}[/tex]

So, [tex]36\ \text{gallons per unit}[/tex] will flow from the hose in 45 minutes.
