Question

Which equation could represent the relationship shown in the scatter plot?

y=−34x+10

y=9x−12

y=−23x+1

y=−3x−2

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

C. y=−3/4x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see from the scatter plot that this is a decreasing correlation; as the independent variable increases, the dependent variable decreases.  This means the slope, or rate of change, will be negative.

Additionally, we can see that the y-intercept, the point where the data crosses the y-axis, will be greater than 9.  This leaves C, y=−3/4x+10, as our only option.
