ecological study, Ernesto measured the average concentration (y) of the fine dust, PM10, in the air at
dhrérent distances V-) from a power plant. His data are represented on the following scatter diagram. The
concentration of PM10 is measured in micrograms per cubic metre and the distance is measured in kilometres.
a. His data are also listed in the following table. Use the scatter diagram to find the value of a and of b in the table.
