The scatter plot below can be used to find the approximate rate at which water flows through a garden hose. The line of best fit for the scatter plot can be described by the equation y = (4⁄5)x.
If the rate, in gallons per minute, continues, approximately how many gallons of water will flow from the hose in 45 minutes?
