Prompt

The scatterplot shows the relationship between two variables,

x

and

y

. The scatterplot has

11

data points. The data points are in a linear pattern trending up from left to right. The data points have the following coordinates:

(0, 0)

(0.3, 0.7)

(1.2, 0.5)

(1.9, 1.9)

(2.8, 2.9)

(3.7, 3.8)

(4.2, 4.3)

(4.8, 4.5)

(6.1, 6.5)

(7.4, 7.1)

(9.2, 9.6)

Which of the following equations is the most appropriate linear model for the data shown?

y = 0.07 - 1.02 x

y = 1.02 - 0.07 x

y = - 0.07 + 1.02 x

y = - 1.02 + 0.07 x
