The EverGlow nuclear power plant releases water into Lake Fishbegone every afternoon at 4:51 p.m. Environmental researchers are

concerned that fish are being driven away from the area around the plant. They believe that the temperature of the water discharged may be a factor. The data table below gives the temperature of the water released by the plant and the measured distance (in meters) from the outflow pipe of the plant to the nearest fish found in the water on several randomly chosen afternoons. A scatterplot of the data and the least-squares regression line are given.
What is the slope of the least-squares regression line? *
A. -74.704
B. 5.791
C. 12.196
D. 0.946

Determine if y varies directly with x. Give the constant of variation, when appropriate. (picture below)
maxonik [38]

Based on the given variation, y does not vary directly with x and the constant of variation are 8, 3.2 and 1.25 respectively.

<h3>Variation</h3>

y = k × x

where,

k = constant of proportionality

y = -40

x = -5

y = k × x

-40 = k × -5

-40 = -5k

k = -40/-5

k = 8

when,

y = 8 and x = 2.5

y = k × x

8 = k × 2.5

8 = 2.5k

k = 8/2.5

k = 3.2

when,

y = 5 and x = 4

y = k × x

5 = k × 4

5 = 4k

k = 5/4

k = 1.25
