A researcher gathered data to predict the number of new types of plants (y) that will be in a state park after x years. After making a scatter plot of the data, she determined the equation of a line of best fit to be y=0.25x+8 . Based on the equation, what is the number of new types of plants that will be in the park after 24 years?

• 8

• 14

• 32

• 64
