Question

Referring to the figure, tell whether it is reasonable for the graph to be represented by a linear model:

Answer 1

yes

Explanation:

Answer 2

You can notice the following tendency on the given graph:

As x increases the value of y also increases (from 7 points on the graph, there are two exceptions, however these exceptions are near of the line of a model). It means that a linear fit of the points can represent with a very good approximation the relation between variables x and y.

Hence, the answer is yes.
