Erika wondered if there is a relationship between the amount of sugar (in grams) and the number of calories in movie theater candy.
She gathered the data from a sample of 12 types of candy and constructed the scatter plot shown below.

Find the approximate slope and y-intercept (0,b) of an estimated line of best fit.

Answer 1

Answer:

the slope is 8/7 and the y-intercept is 300

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is 300 because that is where the estimated line of bets fit (the red line) crosses the y-intercept.
