A researcher surveyed 8 people to see if there is a

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=1.25x+7.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the trend line is the line of best fit to the data points.

The equation of a straight line is given by:

y = mx + b:

where y, x are variables, m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.

From the graph, we can see that the line passes through the points (10, 20) and (14, 25). Therefore the equation of the line is given by:

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-20=\frac{25-20}{14-10}(x-10)\\\\y-20=1.25(x -10)\\\\y-20=1.25x-12.5\\\\y=1.25x+7.5$
