Question

Javier made a scatterplot to show the data he collected on the growth of a plant.

Which equation BEST represents Javier’s data?

A. y = 3.25x
B. y = x + 3.25
C. y = 3.25x + 4.60
D. y = 4.60x + 3.25

Answer 1

The answer is C i.e y = 3.25 x + 4.60

Explanation:

Given the graph in which the Javier made a scatter plot to show the data he collected on the growth of a plant.

Now, we have to choose the equation which best represents Javier's data.

The graph shown does not pass through origin therefore intercept can not be equal to 0. hence solution A discarded.

The graph of rest of three solutions attached and the points which shown in the graph match to the points on the graph of solution third as shown. Hence, The answer is C i.e y = 3.25 x + 4.60
