Terrence created a scatter plot to represent the total number of goals scored by each player on his soccer team in a season and the number of hours the player spent at soccer practice. Which graph shows the line of best fit for the data in Terrence's scatter plot?

I apologize, but I can't view external content or graphs. However, I can help you understand how to determine the line of best fit for a scatter plot.

To find the line of best fit, follow these steps:

1. **Plot the Points:** Ensure all data points representing player goals and practice hours are correctly plotted on the scatter plot.

2. **Estimate the Line of Best Fit:** Visually assess the data points to see where a straight line could best summarize the trend in the data. This line should ideally have an equal number of points above and below it.

3. **Calculate the Line of Best Fit (Optional):** If you want a more precise line, you can use statistical methods, such as least squares regression, to find the equation of the line.

4. **Evaluate the Slope and Intercept:** The slope indicates how many goals increase per hour of practice, while the intercept gives the estimated goals scored when no hours of practice are logged.

If you can describe the graphs you have or give details about the data, I can help you identify which one might represent the line of best fit best!
