Emily researched the average prices of desktop pcs worldwide since 2000. she could only find data from 2005 to 2010. she created a scatter plot of the data and drew a linear model. what is the relationship between the average price of pcs and the number of years that have passed since 2000? will mark branliest

A linear relationship

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph we can see as the number of years increasing the average price of a PC decreasing at a constant rate.

It is forming a straight line and its equation is similar to equation of line , where m= -39 which is the rate of change of average price.

Hence, the relationship between the average price of PCs and the number of years that have passed since 2000 is a linear relationship.

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
