Akeem wants to determine if the cost of plane tickets depends on the distance flown.
He makes a scatterplot to show the flight distances in miles, x, and the cost of the
tickets for those flights, y. He finds that the equation y 0.13x + 46 can be used to
model the data. Based on the equation, which statement is true?
=
Each additional 46 miles flown increases the price of a ticket by about 13%.
The price of each flight included a tax of 13%.
Each mile flown increases the price of a ticket by about 13 cents.
The shortest distance for the flights included in the data was 46 miles.
