A meteorologist collected data on a recent snowfall. The meteorologist graft the data and found the equation of the trendline to be Y equals 1.7 X +0.1. If the snowfall continues at this pace, use the equation to predict the number of inches of snow after 10 hours. Round to the nearest 10th
After 10 hours, the snowfall would be____ inches
After 10 hours, plugging X equals 10 into the equation Y equals 1.7X + 0.1:
Y = 1.7 * 10 + 0.1
Y = 17 + 0.1
Y = 17.1
Therefore, after 10 hours, the predicted snowfall would be approximately 17.1 inches.
