The slope of the best fit for the 3 given points is 500, so the correct option is b.
<h3>
How to find the slope?</h3>
Remember that for a line that passes through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) the slope is:
With the 3 given points we can find 3 slopes, and then we will need to find the average of these 3.
The 3 points are: (3, 2,750), (6, 4,200), and (9,5,750)
Then the 3 slopes are:
The average slope is:
So the correct option is b.

Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached photo please :)
The answer is 720 mph, since we make time the x and distance y. We use the slope formula (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
(179-23)/(17-4)
156 miles/13 mins
12 miles per min
Since the answer is in hours instead of minutes, we multiply 12 by 60 to get 720 mph
to graph a LINEar equation, since it's just a straight line, recall, to draw a straight line all you need is two points.
so we can just pick two random "x" values, hmmmmm say x = 0, what's "y"?
y = 7(0)-7 => y = -7....................................... so that gives us the point (0, -7)
hmmm x = 2, what is "y"?
y = 7(2) - 7 => y = 14-7 => y = 7................. so we get the point (2, 7).
then just plot those, and run a line through them.
