Data points plotted on a graph
A line of best fit going through the data points
Summary
The image is a scatter plot graph with an x-axis labeled “x” and a y-axis labeled “y.” The graph shows a collection of data points that appear to have a negative correlation as x increases. A line of best fit is drawn through the data points, indicating the trend of the relationship between x and y. The line slopes downward from left to right, suggesting that as x increases, y tends to decrease.
Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the trend line.%0D%0A%0D%0A(1 point)%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0Ay=−15x+8%0D%0Ay equals negative Start Fraction 1 over 5 End Fraction x plus 8%0D%0A%0D%0Ay=15x+8%0D%0Ay equals Start Fraction 1 over 5 End Fraction x plus 8%0D%0A%0D%0Ay=5.67x+8%0D%0Ay equals 5.67 x plus 8%0D%0A%0D%0Ay=−15x+3
The correct equation in slope-intercept form of the trend line is:
y = -15x + 8
