F(x) = -9 + 10.3x probably.
It's definitely not the first or last option as they have negative gradients (i.e. negative x-coefficient) and so represent a negative correlation. The data given tells us there is a positive gradient and so a positive correlation.
It could be the second option as the second and third are not so vastly different but I would go for the third because it appears to most closely fit the data pattern.
3√x+2 = √x+4
divide both sides by 3
√x+2 = √x+4 / 3
remove radical by squaring both sides
x+2 = x+4/9
x+2 = x/9 + 4/9 =
8x/9 = -14/9
8x*9 = -14*9=
72x = -126
x = -7/4
Answerx could equal 1,-1,2,-2...
