Answer:

42 Option(A)

Explanation:

Here scattered graph is given.

x-axis represents the Number of Apples

y-axis represents the Pounds of Apples.

Find the slope of scattered line.

Slope(m) = (Change in y)/(Change in x)

m=
(25-5)/(45-9)

m=
(20)/(36)=(5)/(9)

now equation of line:

y - y₁ = m(x-x₁)


y-5=(5)/(9)(x-25)

Now put x =80 in this equation and solve for y


y-5=(5)/(9)(80-25)

y = 42.6

or

y ≈42

So, Number of apples = 42

That's the final answer.
