Question

The scatter plot below shows the relationship between the leaf length (x) and leaf width f(x), in mm, of some leaves of a tree:

ordered pairs 11, 0.5 and 12, 1 and 13, 1.5 and 14, 2 and 15, 2.5 and 16, 3 and 17, 3.5 and 18, 4 and 19, 4.5 and 20, 5 and 21, 5.5 and 22, 6

Which of the following functions is best represented by the scatter plot?

f(x) = −5 + 0.5x
f(x) = 5 + 0.5x
f(x) = x − 10.5
f(x) = −x − 10.5

Answer 1

well the slope is positive and the y-intercept is 0.5 so all you need to do is find the slope of the line of best fit...

Answer 2

slope = rise/ run

pick 2 points on the graph... what is the rise... of vertical distance between them

and what is the run, or horizontal distance between the points.
