Find the prediction equation

Short Answer

Expert verified

The prediction equation is y=47000x+67.

Step by step solution

01

Identify two points representative for best fit line 

The slope is

m=y2−y1x2−x1m=6−29000−2000m=47000

02

Substitutes on of the points 

Substation of the point in the above equation

y=mx+cy=47000x+b

03

Solve for b for complete prediction 

X=9000

Y=6

6=470009000+bb=67

On substituting the value of b

y=47000x+67

Hence, the final inequalities is 47000x+67.
