Question

Use the image to answer the question.An illustration of a scatterplot graph shows x-axis ranging from 0 to 10 in increments of 1 and y-axis ranging from 0 to 50 in increments of 10. Multiple points are plotted around a line that points downward to the right with an arrowhead on the bottom.▶Click for Long DescWrite an equation in slope-intercept form of the trend line.(1 point)y= x + IncorrectLook at whether the trendline goes up or down.

Answer 1

The trend line slopes downward, so the slope is negative. It crosses the y-axis at 40 and the x-axis at 10, so slope = (0 − 40)/(10 − 0) = −4.

Equation: y = −4x + 40
