Question

The graph below shows a line of best fit for data collected on the number of dogs visiting a dog park since it first opened.

Answer 1

Hello!

Usually in a slope intercept equation, the y-intercept is a term, and is not a coefficient of x. The slope is usually multiplied by x. This eliminates A and C as answers.

Usually the y-intercept is a starting point. Not the slope. This means that B is also incorrect.

In D, it has the correct y-intercept. It shows that 16 dogs visited the first day, and the slope shows a constant rate of more dogs.

Therefore, our answer is D.

I hope this helps!
