Answer:
Option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
As we can see from the graph, we have plotted the different points.
If the line drawn through the scatter plots, shows the relationship between the length x and mass f(x) then the function will be in the form of
f(x) = mx + b
where m = slope of the line that fits the best
b = y-intercept of the line
Since the plotted line passes through two pints (1, 1) and (10, 94).
Then the slope m =
m =
m =
m = 10.3
Now we place the coordinates (1, 1) in the equation to find the value of y-intercept b.
1 = 10.3 + b
b = 1 - 10.3
b = -9.3 ≈ 9
So the function will be f(x) = 10.3x - 9
Option C is the answer.
A simple diagram will show you the intersection of altitudes is in the 2nd quadrant. It must have x-coordinate -2, as the altitude to the "base" y=10 must be the vertical line through (-2, 4).
The appropriate choice is ...
... C: (-2, 12)
