USE LINEAR MODELS

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
