Question
10) Data for various drivers is displayed below showing the relationship between their age and the furthest distance at
which they can read a road sign. The table gives the maximum age, a, in years and the distance, d, in feet. The
scatterplot shows the relationship between age and distance.

b)
Pick two points on your regression line. IMPORTANT: These two points should be on your line and not data
points from the table. Do not use the y intercept as a point, because the x axis does not start at zero. Write both
coordinates of your points in the blank lines below.
c)
Use your two points from part b to find an equation for your line of best fit. Use the letters a and d in your
equation. Do not use the letters x and y. If you end up with decimals in your equation, round to the nearest hundredth.
d)
Use your equation to estimate the distance at which someone can clearly read a road sign when they are
32 years old.
