A show pony weighs at least 900 pounds. After a recent weigh in, the owner of a show pony amended the diet of his pony, increasing the animal's caloric intake, with the hope that the pony would gain weight to be shown in a few months. The data shown in the table and scatter plot below represents the pony's additional daily caloric intake and recorded weight gain (in pounds) of the show pony over the last ten weeks.

Additional Daily Calories Consumed Weight Gained

(in pounds)

1,500 calories 3 pounds

1,575 calories 7 pounds

1,650 calories 3 pounds

1,725 calories 4 pounds

1,800 calories 8 pounds

1,875 calories 9 pounds

1,950 calories 13 pounds

2,025 calories 7 pounds

2,100 calories 17 pounds

2,175 calories 15 pounds

Part A: Use the data shown in the table and scatter plot to create an approximate equation for the line of best fit.

Part B: In complete sentences, describe the show pony's weight gain in terms of the units used in the data.

Part C: According to the equation for the best fit line for the data, approximately how much weight would you expect the pony to gain in a week if its additional daily caloric intake for that week is 2,300 calories?
