Alawn specialist measured the average temperature during different growing periods and the amount that the grass grew during each period. the scatter plot shows the results of his study. use the data to predict the growth that would occur if the temperature were 55°f.

a. 10 centimeters

b. 5.6 centimeters

c. 14 centimeters

d. 17.5 centimeters

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

the first one, all those points on the line just make a strait line.
