The question is not complete as the scatter plot is missing.

Thus, I have attached the complete question showing the scatter plot.

Answer:

D: On a day with a high temperature of 0°C, the shop can expect to sell about 850 fluid ounces of hot coffee

Explanation:

From the attached image showing the question and scatter plot, we can see that the scatter plot is modeled by the line; y = -5.9x + 850

Where;

x is the high temperature in °F

y is the amount of fluid ounces sold

Let's try x = 0°F

Thus;

y = 0 + 850

y = 850 fluid ounces

Let's try x = 10°F

Thus;

y = -5.9(10) + 850

y = 850 - 59

y = 791

This means for every increase in temperature of 10°F, the amount sold is approximately 60 fluid ounces lesser.

Looking at the options in the attached file, the only correct one that corresponds to our answer is option D where it says;. On a day with a high temperature of 0°C, the shop can expect to sell about 850 fluid ounces of hot coffee
