If we were to draw a best fit line, the y-interest would be near 15, and the slope would be negative.

In the options given, the slope is either -3 or -13. If we imagine a line through the plotted points, the rise would be about 15 while the run would be about 5. This means the slope is about -3.

The best answer is y = -3x + 15
