The scatter plot shows the relationship between the number of chapters and the total number of pages for several books. Use the trend line to predict how many pages would be in a book with 19 chapters.

• 150 pages

• 170 pages

• 190 pages

• 210 pages

The equation of the trend line
is  y= 1/2x +1. Use the equation to determine the amount of time it would take to bike 20 laps.
