Nick buys, repairs, and resells mountain bikes. He records the age of each bike and how much he sells it for. He used the data to create a scatter plot along with the line of best fit.
The equation for the line of best fit is y= –25x+300. According to the equation, which of these statements is true?

a 6-year-old mountain bike would likely sell for 300$.
A new mountain bike would likely sell for 300$.
According to the equation y= -25x+300, the correct statement is: A new mountain bike would likely sell for $300.
