Priscilla has a piece of rope. She ties a knot in the rope and measures the new length of the rope. She then repeats this process several times. Some of the data collected are listed in the table above. Which equation represents the line of best fit for this data?

• y = −3.3x + 112.1

• y = 112.1x − 3.3

• y = −0.98x + 112.1

• y = 112.1x − 0.96
