Question

Lisa Callaghan data on the grams of fat and the grams of carbohydrates in 10 sandwiches at a popular restaurant the table below represents the data she recorded which linear equation best fits Lisa's data

Answer 1

Linear representation of data

All options gives values too high , except one

Because for x= 17 ,y= 31

23x17 its much bigger than 31

1.5x17 + 27 much bigger than 31

27x17 much bigger than 31

Then, only option that gives near value of 31 is

y= 0.5x + 23

because 0.5• 17 + 23 = 31.5

Then right answer is: Option A)

y = 0.5x + 23
