OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 3x + 5?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i spose it depends on how exacting they want the answer to be ....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

is this a guestimate? or one of those things you have to use linear regressions for?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and since it says "of the following" what are the other options to compare with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah. not sure./.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

y = 3x+5 looks pretty good, but without the others to compare with i cant be sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have them; a. y =x + 8 b. y = 3x + 5 c. y = 3x + 8

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a is out

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and b is a better fit than c
