Well which ones are it obviously not?

OpenStudy (b.r):

Would it be 'A'?

OpenStudy (phi):

As you go up in weeks from 1 to 2 to 3 the sales also goes up, so you can rule out the bottom two graphs, because as you move to the right, the dots are plotted lower (smaller)

OpenStudy (phi):

You have to decide if it's A or B A shows a straight line. A straight line means the change in y divided by the change in x is the same as you move from point to point. For example going from (1,97) to (2,168) the slope is (168-97)/(2-1) = 71/1 or just 71 now check the slope from (3,259) to (4,375) (375-259)/(4-3) what do you get ?
