medium

The scatterplot shows the relationship between two variables, $x$ and $y$. The scatterplot has 8 data points in a quadratic pattern trending up from left to right, with coordinates $(11.8,110)$, $(17.2,193)$, $(19.8,289)$, $(24.2,394)$, $(25.8,482)$, $(30.2,621)$, $(32.8,771)$, and $(38.2,1002)$. Which of the following equations is the most appropriate model for the data shown?

A

$y=0.7x^2$

B

$y=0.7x^2+100$

C

$y=7x^2$

D

$y=7x^2+100$
