The relationship is modeled by the equation y = 7.7079x - 7.

Here, y is the dependent variable which is the Earth Mass, and x is the independent variable which is the Earth Radius.

Solving for the Earth Mass if Earth Radius is 1.1 (x=1.1), we substitute 1.1 to x.

y = 7.7079 (1.1) - 7

y = 8.47869 - 7

y = 1.47869

y ≈ 1.4787
