The National Weather Service collects data on the number of hours of consecutive rainfall and the number of minor traffic accidents in a particular city. The scatter plot shows the data it gathered and the line of best fit.

For a school project, Peyton uses technology to calculate the equation for line of best fit. If Peyton's calculation is correct, which equation could represent the line of best fit for this data?

A.

y = 0.625x

B.

y = 2.375x

C.

y = -2.375x + 5.25

D.

y = 0.625x + 5.25
