PLEASE HELP LOL

Data was collected on the amount of time that a random sample of 8 students spent studying for a test and the grades they earned on the test. A scatter plot and line of fit were created for the data.

scatter plot titled students' data, with points plotted at 1 comma 75, 2 comma 70, 2 comma 80, 2 comma 90, 3 comma 80, 3 comma 100, 4 comma 95, and 4 comma 100, and a line of fit drawn passing through the points 0 comma 60 and 2 comma 80

Determine the equation of the line of fit.

y = 5x + 60
y = 5x + 80
y = 10x + 60
y = 10x + 80

Answer:

y = 10x + 60

Explanation:

So, the chart coordinate should looks like this:

(1, 75)

(2, 70)

(3, 80)

(4, 95)

(4, 100)

And there is a line passing (0, 60) and (2, 80)

So we just need to find the y-intercept and the slope by the line:

Slope: [change in x over change in y] = 20 ÷ 2 = 10

y-intercept: [the value of y when x equal 0] = 60 (because the line passed through (0, 60) )
