please help! John-Mark recorded the stats for several baseball pitchers. He made a scatterplot showing the
number of games they played and the percentage they lost. Which line is the best fit for this
data?

y = 10x - 70
y = 10x + 70
y = -10x + 110
y = -10x - 110​

Answer: Third Option

[tex]y = -10x + 110[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in the pending intersection form has the following form:

[tex]y=mx +b[/tex]

Where m is the slope of the line and b is the intersection with the y axis.

Observe in the graph that the data form a decreasing line. Then the adjustment line must have a negative slope [tex]m <0[/tex].

The first and the second option have positive slopes, therefore we discard them.

Notice in the scatter diagram that the intersection of the line with the y-axis (x = 0) is above 90.

The line of the fourth option has a value of [tex]b = -110 <90[/tex].

Therefore the line that best fits the data is the third option

[tex]y = -10x + 110[/tex]

Note that the line has a slope [tex]m = -10[/tex] and a value of [tex]b> 90[/tex]
