Nikki gathered data about the length of time she spent listening to the radio and the number of commercials she heard. She organized the data in a scatter plot, where x represents the minutes spent listening and y represents the number of commercials. Then she used the graphing tool to find the equation of the line of best fit: y = 0.338x − 1.387. Based on the line of best fit, for approximately how many minutes will Nikki need to listen to the radio to hear 20 commercials?

The number of minutes Nikki needs to listen to the radio to hear 20 commercials is 63.275 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The given dependent and independent variables are;

The number of minutes spent by Nikki listening = x

The number of commercials aired = y

The relationship between the independent variable, x ans the dependent variable, y, was given by the Nikki's graphing tool line of best fit as follows;

y = 0.338·x - 1.387

Therefore, the number of minutes, x, Nikki needs to listen to the radio to hear 20 commercials, y is given as follows;

20 = 0.338·x - 1.387

20 + 1.387 = 0.338·x

0.338·x  =20 + 1.387 = 21.387

x =  21.387/0.338 = 63.275 minutes

The number of minutes, x, Nikki needs to listen to the radio to hear 20 commercials, y = 63.275 minutes.

answer is 270 degrees: -

to convert radians to degrees you multiply by 180/π

9π/ 6 * 180 / π

=   9 * 180 / 6

= 9 * 30

=   270 degrees   answer

it should be described as a proper fraction.
