Bivariate Data Stuff

Several schools reported the number of students who received a flu vaccine in a year and the number of cases of the flu amongst their students that year. A scatter plot was made with a trend line that had an equation of y=-\frac{1}{4}x+85. Use the equation to predict the number of cases of the flu that would occur if 300 students received he flu vaccine.

A scatter plot was created to show the length of a person's vacation and the weight of the suitcase they packed. The equation of the trend line is y=5x+15, where x represents the length of the trip.

Use the equation to predict the weight of a suitcase for someone taking a 9-day trip.
