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 chapters would be in a book with 180 pages.

• 12 chapters

• 15 chapters

• 18 chapters

• 21 chapters

Suppose data related to the AVERAGE Temperature outside (T) and the number of winter Coats (C) sold at a store is collected and graphed.

The LINE OF BEST FIT has the equation C = -3T + 150.

Use this equation to predict the number of coats sold when the average temperature outside is 20°.
