A coordinate plane is titled: Number of Cups of Lemonade Sold versus Temperature. It shows temperature in degrees Fahrenheit on the x-axis from 0 to 100 in increments of 5 and number of cups on the y-axis from 0 to 45 in increments of 5.
The approximate data points are as follows: left parenthesis 65 comma 8 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 68 comma 10 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 72 comma 18 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 75 comma 18 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 78 comma 15 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 79 comma 22 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 81 comma 30 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 89 comma 45 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 95 comma 35 right parenthesis.

To determine which scatterplot represents the provided data, we need to compare the given temperature and number of cups sold against the coordinates listed in each option.
From the data table, we have:
(78°F, 15 cups)
(95°F, 35 cups)
(79°F, 22 cups)
(72°F, 15 cups)
(65°F, 10 cups)
(82°F, 26 cups)
(68°F, 10 cups)
(75°F, 18 cups)
(89°F, 34 cups)
We can summarize the correct pairs as follows:
(65, 10)
(68, 10)
(72, 15)
(75, 18)
(78, 15)
(79, 22)
(82, 26)
(89, 34)
(95, 35)
Now, let's evaluate each option provided for scatterplots:
The first option contains erroneous points, specifically points (65, 8) and (81, 30), neither of which are present in the original data.
The second option correctly matches the data points and does not include any extraneous information. It includes:
(65, 10)
(68, 10)
(72, 15)
(75, 18)
(78, 15)
(79, 22)
(82, 26)
(89, 34)
(95, 35)
The third option incorrectly lists (75, 35) instead of (75, 18).
The fourth option incorrectly swaps the axes, making the x-axis temperature and y-axis cups, which does not conform to the given problem.
Based on this analysis, the second option appears to be the accurate depiction of the data from the table. It aligns with all data points provided without any errors.
