The graph shows the number of cakes sold at Karen's Cake Shoppe for each of their 7 weeks in business:

A scatter plot is shown with the title Karens Cake Shoppe. The x axis is labeled Weeks in Business, and the y axis is labeled cakes sold. The data points are located at 1 and 2, 2 and 4, 3 and 5, 4 and 4, 5 and 6, 6 and 5, and 7 and 8. A line of best fit passes through the y axis at 1 and through the point 10 and 10.
If her current pattern continues, how many cakes will Karen most likely sell in her 10th week of business? (4 points)

10, because approximately y = 9 over 10.x + 1

11, because approximately y = 9 over 10.x + 1

8, because approximately y = 1x − 1

12, because approximately y = 1x + 2

1 answer

11, because approximately y = 9/10x + 1

By extending the line of best fit, it predicts that Karen would sell around 11 cakes in her 10th week of business.
