Answer:

D)  2,850 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the size of the house in square feet that corresponds to the fair listing price of $250,000, we can use the given linear equation of the best fit line, which is:

[tex]y = 0.07x + 50.5[/tex]

where:

  • x is the size of the house (in square feet).
  • y is the sale price of the house (in thousands of dollars).

First, convert the sale price into thousands of dollars:

[tex]y =\dfrac{250000}{1000}=250[/tex]

Next, substitute y = 250 into the given linear equation and solve for x:

[tex]250=0.07x+50.5 \\\\\\250-50.5=0.07x+50.5-50.5 \\\\\\199.5=0.07x\\\\\\\dfrac{199.5}{0.07}=\dfrac{0.07x}{0.07}\\\\\\x=2850[/tex]

Therefore, the house should be approximately 2,850 square feet to have a fair price of $250,000.
