Answer 10

deduce it from the info.

Answer 11

great, wordy stuff lol

A scatter plot is made to model:

the number of calories in different portions of fish sticks.

cal = slope(portion) + (whatever)

this is what it reads like to me, correctness not assumed tho

Answer 12

if we ignore that whatever part

slope = cal/portion

Answer 13

so A would be correct? @amistre64

Answer 14

The number of calories per each portion.

like i said, correctness is not assumed. but i would agree with A as my best educated guess.
