The equation that best represents the line of best fit is y = 4x + 2. Option C is the right choice.
In the context of the survey on debate teams, this linear equation suggests that there is a positive correlation between the number of hours of debate practice (x) and the number of team wins (y).
The coefficient of 4 indicates that for every one-unit increase in the hours of debate practice, the predicted number of team wins increases by 4.
The y-intercept of 2 suggests that even with zero hours of debate practice, the model predicts a baseline of 2 team wins.
This equation captures the overall trend observed in the survey data and serves as a suitable representation of the relationship between hours of debate practice and team wins, providing a mathematical basis for making predictions within the scope of the survey results.
ption C is the right choice.
