The dataset (blue dots) consists of a sequence that starts in the point (0,1) and ends in the point (4,4)
The linear function (red line) starts at the point (2.5,3) and ends in the point (5,1.8) approximately
Let's analyze each option:
a) If we change the vertical axis by down 2 units, then not a single point will be close to their corresponding model. Thus, this is not a correct choice
b) Same thing happens if we change up 1 unit. The dataset and the model will be even farther. Incorrect
c) Moving 3 units up will be even worse than option b). Incorrect
d) Changing 3/4 units up or down will not get the plot and the line be closer. This is not the correct option
e) This is the correct option because a vertical change ALONE will not make both sets be close to each other.
The correct action should be to move both horizontally and vertically, including some scaling.
This happens because the red line is a bad approximation to the dataset
