Assume that the data can be modeled by a straight line and that the trend continues indefinitely. Use two data points to find such a line and then answer the question. Suppose a baseball is thrown at 89 miles per hour. The ball will travel 338 feet when hit by a bat swung at 47 miles per hour and will travel 474 feet when hit by a bat swung at 81 miles per hour. Let y be the number of feet traveled by the ball when hit by a bat swung at x miles per hour. How much farther will a ball travel for each mile-per-hour increase in the speed of the bat? A ball will travel (Type a whole number) feet farther for each mile-per-hour increase in the speed of the bat.
