Graph Help please!?

2017-02-05 4:14 am
Would I be right in assuming that on a scatter graph with a linear trendline, the equation (using display equation on the linear trendline) would be able to be used to determine what X would be at a known Y?
My equation is this Y = 0.0091x - 0.3865
So be re-arranging it I would get X=Y/0.0091+0.3865, does this look right?

Not to me !!

y = 0.0091x - 0.3865

solving for x in terms of y...

x = (y + 0.3865) / 0.0091

You screwed-up order of operations !!

NO, that would not be right.

Y = 0.0091X − 0.3865
0.0091X = Y + 0.3865
X = (Y + 0.3865)/0.0091
X = Y/0.0091 + 0.3865/0.0091

You must divide ALL of (Y + 0.3865) by 0.0091, not just Y

Thanks guys haha, honestly, as you can probably tell I have no idea what I am doing here. so using the formula that you have stated I will get the correct X value for a known Y?
Say Y=10 then X=1141.373626?
or if Y=20 then X=2240.274725?
and so on

Not quite right. The 0.3865 also needs to be divided by 0.0091:
.. X = (Y +0.3865)/0.0091
