A line of best fit is f(x) ≈ −0.86x + 13.5 for the set of points in the table. Using the equation for the line of best fit, what is a good approximation for the value of the function, f(x), when x = 18?

Answer:  -2

Step-by-step explanation: f(x)≈ -0.86x+13.5

   putting x=18 in f(x), we get

     f(x)≈ -0.86×18+13.5

  ⇒      f(x)≈ -15.48+13.5

  ⇒      f(x)≈ -1.98

  ⇒      f(x)≈ -2

The value of the function f(x) ≈ −0.86x + 13.5 at x=18 will be equal to -2

What is function?

Function, in mathematics, an expression, rule, or law that defines a relationship between one variable (the independent variable) and another variable (the dependent variable).

Given function is

[tex]f(x) =-0.86x + 13.5[/tex]

At x=18

[tex]f(x) =(-0.86\times 18) + 13.5[/tex]

[tex]f(x)=-2[/tex]

Hence  the value of the function f(x) ≈ −0.86x + 13.5 at x=18 will be equal to -2
