Question

The scatterplot shows the population in the state of Delaware x years since 2010. A line of best fit is also shown.

Answer 1

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given by

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

In this problem

we have

y=9,085x+898,446

so

the slope is 9,085 and the y-intercept is 898,446

therefore

The answer is the third option
