A meteorologist collected data on a recent snowfall, the meteorologist graph the data and found the equation of the trendline to be y=1.7+0.1 if the snowfall continues at this place, use the equation to predict the number of inches of snow after 10 hours round to the nearest 10th
To predict the number of inches of snow after 10 hours using the equation y = 1.7 + 0.1t, we can substitute t = 10 into the equation:
y = 1.7 + 0.1 × 10
= 1.7 + 1
= 2.7
Therefore, the predicted number of inches of snow after 10 hours is approximately 2.7 inches.
