Quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane shows nine unlabeled plotted points that generally trend linearly upward. A horizontal line is plotted and labeled y equals 5. The line does not follow the slope of the points. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 12 in increments of 1. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 7 in increments of 1. The trend line starts at left parenthesis 3 comma 5 right parenthesis and ends at left parenthesis 11 comma 5 right parenthesis. The points are plotted at left parenthesis 3 comma 3.5 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 4 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 5 comma 4.2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 6 comma 4.5 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 7 comma 4.8 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 8 comma 5.5 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 9 comma 5.8 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 10 comma 6.4 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 11 comma 6.7 right parenthesis.
