B) About 3 years
Answer:
(a) The amount of ice cream increase as temperature increases
(b)
--- equation
--- y intercept
--- slope
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for graph
Solving (a): The relationship between the variables
From the attached graph, the dots on the graph increases towards up-right direction. This implies that there is a positive correlation between the variables.
In other words;
The amount of ice cream increase as temperature increases
Solving (b): The line of best fit
First, we draw a line through the points (the line should have almost equal points on both sides; see attachment 2).
From (2), we select any 2 points on the line:


The slope (m) is:




So, the line of best fit is:

Substitute known values:



The y-intercept is when 
So, we have:



1. Write as an algebraic equation:
12 + n ≤ 2n - 8
2. Solve for n.
12 + n - 12 ≤ 2n - 8 - 12
n ≤ 2n - 20
n - 2n ≤ 2n - 20 - 2n
-n ≤ -20
Multiply both sides by -1 (this means you must flip the inequality sign).
n ≥ 20
FINAL ANSWER: n ≥ 20

Answer:
2 tacos = $6
1 tacos = $3
6 tacos = 6 X 3
= $18
18$ is the cost for 6 tacos
