Alex used a regression calculator to find the equation of the trend line y = a x + b for the data in the table. He rounded the values for a and b on his calculator as shown below.

a = 1.7
b = 6.2

Which trend line compares the data in the table?

s = 1.7 f + 6.2
s = 6.2 f + 1.7
f = 1.7 s + 6.2
f = 6.2 s + 1.7

Answer 1

y = 1.7x + 6.2

Explanation:

read the problem closely to figure out S and F. I can guarentee that if you read the entire thing, you will know if the answer is. It is either choice one or three
