The owner of a coffee shop compared the amount of hot coffee per day, in fluid ounces, sold and the daily high temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, per day. Her data are shown in the scatter plot below. If these data are modeled by the line y = -5.9x + 850, which statement best describes a valid prediction the owner could make?

Picture of the question is attached below.

B.) For each temperature decrease of 10°F, the shop can expect to sell about 6 fluid ounces more of hot coffee.

Step-by-step explanation:

The model depicted by the line equation:

y = -5.9x + 850 shows a strong negative linear relationship between the amount of hot coffee per day, in fluid ounces, sold and the daily high temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, per day. This means that the sale of hit coffee decreases with increasing temperature daily, which makes sense. From the plot and line model equation, the shop can expect to sell about 6 fluid ounces less of hot coffee for each temperature ruse of 10F.

-5.9x approximately -6x decrease for every 10F temperature increase.

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
