1.4.9 GRAPHING A MODEL
scatter plot of the data to verify that the model provides a good fit to the data.
TI-85 After you have copied the model to the y(x)=
list, run program STPLT to graph the model and the
scatter plot on the same screen. The model will graph
first and then the scatter plot will appear.
TI-86 After viewing the model, be sure that Plot1 at
the top of the y(x)= list is darkened. Then, just press

1.4.10 PREDICTIONS USING A MODEL
Sections 1.1.7 or 1.2.1 of this Guide to evaluate the linear model at the desired input value.
Remember, if you have aligned your data, the input value at which you evaluate the model
may not be the value given in the question you are asked.
However, your calculator has a feature that gives you a very easy way to predict either
input or output values calculated from a model.
After finding a model,
