Mrs. Collins made a scatterplot to show the relationship between the number of absences and a student’s final exam score. Based on this scatterplot, a student with 6 absences should get approximately what score on the final exam?

• 85

• 92

• 70

Which of the following best describes a scatter plot that shows no relationship between the x-values and the y-values?

• As x-values increase, the points are higher on the graph.

• As x-values decrease, the points are higher on the graph.

• The points are scattered around the graph.

• The points form a horizontal line.

The graph above shows a line of best fit for data collected on the distance bicyclists have remaining in relation to the amount of time they have been riding.  What is the equation of the line of best fit?

• y = -25x + 170

• y = 25x + 170

• y = -(5/8) x + 170

• y = (5/8) x + 170
