Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane shows the cumulative covid 19 cases in the United Kingdom from February 23 to April 17, year 2020.

The graph shows the total number of COVID-19 cases in the UK from February 23 to April 17 in 2020. The dots or stars represent the actual data points, and the line is an exponential fit for the data points. Each value in the x-axis shows days since COVID cases started to be measured in the UK, with “day 1” representing February 23. The y-axis shows the total number of cases per day. Which of the following correctly uses the graph to determine the best estimate for the number of COVID-19 cases in the UK on day 20?

To estimate the number of COVID-19 cases in the UK on day 20 using the graph described, look for the point corresponding to day 20 on the x-axis and the associated value on the y-axis. Since I cannot view the image, I can’t provide the exact estimate, but the correct answer will be the value where the line or data point at day 20 intersects the y-axis.

Here’s how to determine the best estimate:

  1. Identify day 20 on the x-axis of your graph.
  2. Read the corresponding value on the y-axis.
  3. Compare that value to the provided options: 2,000 cases, 10,000 cases, 12,000 cases, or 15,000 cases.
  4. Select the option that best matches the value on the graph.

If you have the graph, check which option aligns most closely with the y-value at day 20.
