Answer:

The answer for part A: If the city is hotter in temperature more people will want the cold refreshing lemonade.

Part B: The line of best fit is a line that will have the same amount of point on each side so you should draw a straight line and then make sure it has the same amount of point on each side. To calculate the slope use Y2-Y1/X2-X1, Y-intercept is the point that intercepts the Y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: Because if it is hot outside you will sweat more being less hydrated which is why more people would want a drink especially lemonade.
