The scatterplot is an illustration of a linear regression.
The equation that best models the scatter plot is y = 4x+ 35
How to determine the equation of the scatterplot?
The equation of a linear regression is represented as:
y = mx + b
Where:
m represents the slope
b represents the y-intercept
From the graph, we have the following points on the line of best fit (see attachment)
(x,y) = (10,75) and (20,105)
The equation is then calculated as:
[tex]y = (\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1})(x -x_1) + y_1[/tex]
This gives
[tex]y = (\frac{105 - 75}{20- 10})(x -10) + 75[/tex]
Evaluate
[tex]y = 4(x -10) + 75[/tex]
Open the bracket
[tex]y = 4x -40 + 75[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]y = 4x+ 35[/tex]
Hence, the equation that best models the scatter plot is y = 4x+ 35
