In this table, Davis recorded how far he could throw balls of different weights. He modeled the data with a linear best-fit function. He can throw a certain ball 30 feet. Approximately how many pounds would this ball weigh?

a. 7.5 pounds
b. 8.1 pounds
c. 8.6 pounds
d. 9.1 pounds

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

By using linear best fit calculator for the given data,

Equation of the line of best fit will be,

y = -5.2514x + 74.94413

Here, x = Weight of the ball

y = Distance thrown by Davis

Now substitute y = 30 feet to calculate the weight (x) of the ball.

30 = -5.2514x + 74.94413

5.2514x = 74.94413 - 30

5.2514x = 44.94413

x = 8.5585

x ≈ 8.6 pounds

Therefore, David can throw a ball 30 feet weighing 8.6 pounds.

Option C will be the answer.
