Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

y = home runs

x = hits

[Best Line of Fit] y = 0.15x - 1.5

We can use this to predict the average of the scatter plot.

home runs = y = 35

Step 2: Solve for x hits

  1. Substitute [BLF]:                    35 = 0.15x - 1.5
  2. Add 1.5 on both sides:          36.5 = 0.15x
  3. Divide 0.15 on both sides:    243.333 = x
  4. Rewrite:                                  x = 243.333

Remember that this is a prediction. According to the best line of fit, we would need approximately ~243 to get 35 home runs.
