y=137 mm Hg

Answer:

Here, x represents the age in years and y represents the systolic blood pressure

As per the statement:

The scatter plot shows the systolic blood pressure of people of several different ages.

The equation represents the linear model for this data is:

\(y=x+95\)    .....[1]

We have to find the systolic blood pressure of someone who is 42 years old.

⇒x = 42 years.

Substitute in [1] we have;

\(y = 42+95 = 137\) mm Hg

therefore,  the systolic blood pressure of someone who is 42 years old. is, 137 mm Hg
