Choice D : look at where you think the line would be if it followed the direction of the data so that about half of the points fell above the line and half below. The two most important things to note are the slope of the line and y intercept.
This is a negative relationship as the line falls as you read it from left to right. That eliminates choice C. Next, it appears the line of best fit would have a y intercept around 10 on the y axis and then fall down and to the right cutting the data. Note that choices A and B have y intercepts that don't make sense for the data. Choice D does have a y intercept of 10 and a negative slope.
Answer:
$20.85 less.
Step-by-step explanation:
City sales:
7% tax = 48.65
total bed cost = $743.65
Nearby City:
4% tax = 27.8
total bed cost = $722.8
city sale - nearby city
743.65 - 722.8
=20.85
(x - 8)^2 = 144
take the sq rt of both sides
x - 8 = 12
x = 12 + 8
x = 20
20 feet by 20 feet
