Question

Which of the following functions best fits the data shown in the scatterplot below? y=100x+2y is equal to 100 x plus 2 y=20x2+10y is equal to 20 x squared plus 10 y=4x+8y is equal to 4 to the x th power plus 8 y=2x+5y is equal to 2 to the x th power plus 5

Answer 1

The equation of the scatter plot is (a) y = 100x + 2

How to determine the equation of the scatterplot?

The line of best fit of the scatter plot passes through the points

(x,y) = (0,2) and (1,102)

Start by calculating the slope using:

$m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}$

So, we have:

$m = \frac{102 - 2}{1 - 0}$

m = 100

The equation is then calculated as:

y = m(x - x1) + y1

This gives

y = 100(x -0) + 2

Evaluate

y = 100x + 2

Hence, the equation of the scatter plot is (a) y = 100x + 2
