Based on the model, approximately how many customers will be on the restaurant when there are 10 cars parked in the restaurant’s parking lot? A - 7

B - 23

C - 12

D - 28

23

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph, derive the best fit equation :

Using the points ;

(0,2.5)  (100 ,35)

x1 = 0 ; y1 = 2.5 ; x2 = 100 ; y2 = 35

Slope formula, m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (35-2.5)/(100-0)

m= (32.5)/100

m = 0.325

The y intercept, value on the graph where best fit line crosses the y axis = 2.5

The equation :

y = mx + c

c = intercept ; m = slope

y = 0.325x + 2.5

y = Number of cars

x = number of customers

The number of customers if there are 10 cars parked :

10 = 0.325x + 2.5

10 - 2.5 = 0.325x

7.5 = 0.325x

x = 7.5 / 0.325

x = 23.076

x = 23

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.

9 x 8 divided by (5-3)=36
