Answer

$(a)$ See the image below $(b)$ $y = -0.16786x + 19.89286$ $y$ stands for the mosquito positive rate and $x$ stands for the flow rate. $(c)$ $y\approx8.1\%$

Work Step by Step

$(a)$ See the image above $(b)$ We can find them using regression line and graphing calculators: $y = -0.16786x + 19.89286$ Where $y$ stands for the mosquito positive rate and $x$ stands for the flow rate. $(c)$ If $x=70%$ $y= -0.16786\times70 + 19.89286\approx8.1$
