Using the line of best fit, estimate how may miles Jack ran the 10th week; show work.
During which week would you expect Jack to run a full marathon, 26.3 miles? Do you think that you should round up or down to the nearest week? Why?

Take two points and find the slope. 
(4,9) (6,13)
y2-y1/x2-x1
4/2=2=m
y=2x+b
9=8+1
b+1
y=2x+1
Set x to 10 to find the 10th week
y=20+1
21 miles
Set y=26.3 to find which week.
26.3=2x+1
2x=25.3
x=12.6 weeks or round to 13 weeks
I think he should round up because in more slopes in between points, there is a lesser slope than 2.
Hope this helps.


one way is to type it into your trusty TI and use the table from presing stat and then stat againg then calc then 4
so the equation that I got from your set of points is y=1.983333333333333x+0.80555555555
