Question

Find the equation of the regression line for the given data. Then construct a scatter plot of the data and draw the regression line. (Each pair of variables has a significant correlation.) Then use the regression equation to predict the value of y for each of the given x-values, if meaningful. The caloric content and the sodium content (in milligrams) for 6 beef hot dogs are shown in the table below.

Calories, x	160	170	130	120	70	180		(a) x=180 calories	(b) x=90 calories
Sodium, y	430	480	320	380	280	510		(c) x=150 calories	(d) x=200 calories

Find the regression equation.

y=nothingx+(nothing)

(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Choose the correct graph below.

02000560CaloriesSodium (mg)

A scatterplot has a horizontal axis labeled "Calories" from 0 to 200 in increments of 20 and a vertical axis labeled "Sodium (in milligrams)" from 0 to 560 in increments of 40. The following points are plotted: 10 units to the right of and 220 units above the origin; 20 units to the right of and 120 units above the origin; 30 units to the right of and 280 units above the origin; 40 units to the right of and 330 units above the origin; 50 units to the right of and 180 units above the origin; 60 units to the right of and 210 units above the origin. A line falls from left to right and passes through the points (0, 266) and (130, 0). All coordinates are approximate.

A scatterplot has a horizontal axis labeled "Calories" from 0 to 200 in increments of 20 and a vertical axis labeled "Sodium (in milligrams)" from 0 to 560 in increments of 40. The following points are plotted: 70 units to the right of and 280 units above the origin; 120 units to the right of and 380 units above the origin; 130 units to the right of and 320 units above the origin; 160 units to the right of and 430 units above the origin; 170 units to the right of and 480 units above the origin; 180 units to the right of and 510 units above the origin. A line rises from left to right and passes through the points (50, 219) and (100, 321). All coordinates are approximate.
