The data in the following table show the amount of water in milliliters a professional tennis player loses for various times, in minutes, of play during a tennis match.
Time of Workout
(in minutes), x 10 20 30 40 50 60
Water Lost
(in milliliters), y 600 900 1,200 1,500 2,000 2,300
(a)
Use the points
(10, 600)
and
(60, 2,300)
to find a linear model that will predict the water lost y (in mL) by a player who has been playing for x minutes.
y =
(b)
Use your linear model to estimate the amount of water lost (in mL) by a player who has been playing for 25 minutes.
