.....Jeremy did not make a good inference. The ratio is not in proportion to 2/15. The correct inference would be about 26 students who did not read any books in July. The sample might be biased since it was limited to those at the pool....
Answer:
B y = -1/2x + 7/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that it has a negative slope since the points go from the top left to the bottom right
We can eliminate A and D
The y intercept is where it crosses the y axis
It should cross somewhere between 2 and 4
C has a y intercept of 9 which is too big
Lets verify with a point
x = -4
y = -4(-4)+9 = 16+9 = 25 (-4,25) not even close to being near the points on the graph
checking B
y = -1/2 (-4) +7/2
= 2 + 7/2 = 11/2 = 5.5 it seems reasonable
X+(x+2)+(x+4)= 66
3x+6=66
3x=60
x=20
20,22, and 24. so 20 is the answer
The slope of the line is -2/5x
