First Graph is the scatter plot!!!!

Answer 1

The answer would be the third line.

Step-by-step explanation:

What you are looking for is called a line of best fit.

A line of best fit is is a straight line that goes through the scattered points on the graph, and it should be as close as it can to as many of the points as possible, so C or 3 is your correct answer.
