Answer 1

I don’t see the graphs or the data. Please either
- upload the image that shows the candidate graphs, or
- paste the data points (x,y) or a picture/screenshot.

If you want to decide by eye, here are quick rules to pick the correct graph:
- The best-fit line should follow the overall trend (positive or negative slope) of the points.
- It should pass near the “center” of the cloud (near the point (x̄,ȳ)).
- There should be roughly equal vertical scatter above and below the line (not many points far on one side).
- Outliers can pull the line; check whether a line is being skewed by one or two distant points.

If you paste the points I can calculate the least-squares line (slope and intercept) or mark the correct graph for you.
