Respuesta :

To find out the line

i will take the points

(16,600) and (30,1300)

step 1

Find out the slope

m=(1300-600)/(30-16)

m=700/14

m=50

step 2

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

y=mx+b

we have

m=50

point (16,600)

substitute

600=50(16)+b

solve for b

600=800+b

b=-200

therefore

the equation of the line is

y=50x-200

Part a

For y=1000 (SAT)

substitute in the equation

1000=50x-200

solve for x

50x=1000+200

50x=1200

x=24

answer part a is

ACT is 24

Part b

For x=32 (score)

substitute

y=50(32)-200

y=1,400

answer part b is

SAT is 1,400
