you research the cost of a gallon of gasoline over several years to look for trends the table shows the data you have collected what is the equation of the line of best fit how much would you expect to pay for gasoline in 2029

a)y=0.538x+1.36; $33.10
b) y=0.289x+1.75:$18.80
C y=0.052x+1.75;$4.82
d) y=0.25x+1.36;$2.84
i think x is the year im confused as to how the number with $ comes into play

Since I have no idea what the data were, I cannot tell which is the line of best fit.

The $ number is the result you get when plugging some value into the equation. Presumably it is the price of some given quantity of gasoline.
