The scatter plot shows the average monthly temperature, \( x \), and the monthly heating cost of a family, \( y \), for 24 different months.
Monthly
heating cost
(in dollars)
Average monthly temperature (in 아)
Use the equation of the line of best fit, \( y=-1.22 x+97.20 \), to answer the questions below.
Give exact answers, not rounded approximations.
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline (a) What is the predicted heating cost for a month with an \\
average temperature of 25 'F? \\
(b) What is the predicted heating cost for a month with an \\
average temperature of \( 0^{\circ} \mathrm{F} ? \)
\end{tabular}
(c) For an increase of one degree Fahrenheit, what is the
predicted decrease in the monthly heating cost?
