Answer 2

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given graph represents the relationship between the number of chores, x that Larissa completes and the amount of money that she earns, y.

From the given graph it is clear that the equation of best fit line is

$y=2.09x+0.93$

We need to find the expected number of chores completed if she earns $5.

Substitute y=5 in the above equation and find the value of x.

$5=2.09x+0.93$

Subtract 0.93 from both sides.

$5-0.93=2.09x+0.93-0.93$

$4.07=2.09x$

Divide both sides by 2.09.

$\dfrac{4.07}{2.09}=x$

$1.947368421=x$

$x\approx 2$

Therefore, the correct option is B.
