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 10 in increments of 1. Multiple points are plotted around a line that points downward to the right with an arrowhead on the bottom.
The line passes approximately through left parenthesis 0 comma 9 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 8 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 8 comma 7 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 10 comma 6.5 right parenthesis. 12 points are plotted close to the line.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the trend line.

(1 point)

y=−14x


y=1x+9


y=−58x+9


y=−14x+9

Answer 1

y = -1/4 x + 9

(So choose the option shown as y = −14x+9, which represents y = −1/4 x + 9.)
