Please help! John-Mark recorded the stats for several baseball pitchers. He made a scatterplot showing the

Answer 1

Answer: Third Option

$y = -10x + 110$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in the pending intersection form has the following form:

$y=mx +b$

Where m is the slope of the line and b is the intersection with the y axis.

Observe in the graph that the data form a decreasing line. Then the adjustment line must have a negative slope $m$.

The first and the second option have positive slopes, therefore we discard them.

Notice in the scatter diagram that the intersection of the line with the y-axis (x = 0) is above 90.

The line of the fourth option has a value of $b = -110$.

Therefore the line that best fits the data is the third option

$y = -10x + 110$

Note that the line has a slope $m = -10$ and a value of $b> 90$
