y=-2/3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the scattered plot, it is evident that the line of best fit will have a negative slope from the way the plots are aligned.

Selecting the line of best fit that will cut the y axis at +5, the points can be estimated as;

(5,1.5) and (3.5,2.5)

The slope can be found as;

m=Δy/Δx

m=2.5-1.5/3.5-5 =1.0/ -1.5 = -0.67

Finding the equation as;

m=Δy/Δx

-0.66 = y-2.5/x-3.5

-0.66(x-3.5) = y-2.5

-0.66x+2.3=y-2.5

-0.66x+2.3+2.5=y

-0.66x+4.7=y

⇒⇒  y= -0.66 x + 4.7

⇒⇒y= -2/3 x + 5

When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
