Answer:
Graph the planet data, shown right, using the regression calculator. When you are done, click “Resize window to fit data.”
Mercury and Venus are
✔ closer
to
the sun than Earth is.
So, their orbital periods are
✔ shorter
than Earth's orbit.
The further a planet is from the sun, the
✔ longer
its orbit is.
A power regression equation for this data is:
T = A^ 1.5
