A baseball coach graphs some data and finds the line of best fit. The equation for the line of best fit is y = 0.32x – 20.51, where x is the number of times at bat and y is the number of hits. How many hits should he expect from a player who is at bat 175 times?

• 35 hits

• 45 hits

• 609 hits

• 62 hits

Chang wants to know if he is improving his skill on the cello. He created a scatter plot and drew a line of best fit. If he uses the point (2, 8) and (5, 1.5) from his line, which equation would best represent the line of best fit?

• y = -2.17x + 12.3

• y = 2.17x + 3.77

• y = -0.46x + 9

• y = -2.17x – 9.35

Mr. Van made a graph to represent the time his students spent studying for their test and their actual test score. Which is the correct equation for the line of best fit?

• y = 1.4x + 55

• y = 1.4x – 84

• y = 0.72x + 60

• y = 0.72 + 56

Which relationship is shown by this scatter plot?

• As the cost goes down, the number sold goes

  down.

• As the cost goes up, the number sold goes

  down.

• As the cost does down, the number sold

  remains the same.

• There is no relationship between cost and the

  number sold.
