Question
Select the correct answer.
This scatter plot shows the association between time elapsed and distance left to go when John drove from city A to city B. What are the slope and the y-intercept of the line of best fit on the scatter plot?
Graph shows line and 6 points plotted in quadrant 1 of coordinate plane with time in minutes on X-axis and distance in miles on Y-axis. Line goes through (0, 80), (120, 5). Points are plotted at (20, 75), (40, 50), (60, 45), (80, 30), (100, 22).
