In BMX dirt bike racing, jumping high (or "getting air") depends on many factors including rider's skill, angle of the jump, and weight of the bike. Here is data about the maximum jump heights for various bike weights. Height 10.35 10.3 10.25 (inches) Weight (pounds) 19 19.5 20 ht (x) ependent: weight pendent: Height (y) The data appears to be linearly related 10.2 10.1 9.85 9.8 20.5 21 1. Sketch a graph of the data. Consider which quantity should be the dependent variable and which quantity should be the independent variable. Does the data appear to be linearly related?

Find an equation that models the data. Use a linear regression calculation tool. Round your answers to the nearest hundredth.
