The scatterplot shows the number of minutes spent reading (x) and the number of pages read (y) by each of seven students last night. Use the labeled points to create a linear model that predicts the number of pages that a typical student reads in x minutes. Which equation represents this linear model?

I can solve this, but I can't see the image files you referenced. Could you either
- upload the scatterplot image, or
- list the coordinates of the labeled points (x = minutes, y = pages) shown on the plot?
If you want to do it yourself, here are the steps I will use once I have two clear points on the line of best fit:
1. Pick two points that lie on (or well represent) the trend line, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).
2. Compute the slope m = (y2 − y1) / (x2 − x1).
3. Compute the intercept b using b = y1 − m·x1.
4. The linear model is y = m x + b.
If you post the image or the point coordinates, I’ll compute the exact equation and tell you which multiple-choice option matches it.
