A meteorologist collected data on a recent snowfall. The meteorologist graphed the data and found the equation of the trend line to be y = 1.7x + 0.1 If the snowfall continues at this pace, use the equation to predict the number of inches of snowfall after 10 hours. Round to the nearest tenth.

I apologize for the error. Let me recalculate.
Using the equation y = 1.7x + 0.1, where x is the number of hours (10 in this case), we can calculate the predicted snowfall as follows:
y = 1.7(10) + 0.1
y = 17 + 0.1
y = 17.1
Therefore, the predicted number of inches of snowfall after 10 hours is 17.1 inches.
