The Prediction...



I believe that 50 is the maximum
number of rubber bands that will
allow Barbie to safely jump from a
height of 386 cm.

The Data...











The Equation...

Slope:

m = 5.32


Y – Intercept :

b = 1.579


Equation in slope-intercept form :

y = 5.32x + 1.579

The Results...

Equation :

y = 5.32x + 1.579


Height :

y = 386 cm


The Results:

x = 35 rubber bands

The Conclusions...

With the given height of the bleachers, 386 cm, and my equation, it will take 35 rubber bands for my Barbie to reach the furthest distance safely on her bungee jumping adventure.
