Adam has the scatterplot shown for his data set, where snowfall is measured in inches, and he is trying to describe the line of best fit. Which choice correctly describes the line of best fit? A) As the amount of snow decreases, the number of accidents decreases. B) As the amount of snow decreases, the number of accidents increases. C) As the amount of snow increases, the number of accidents increases. D) There is no relationship between snowfall and the number of accidents.

C) As the amount of snow increases, the number of accidents increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

An image showing the scatter plot is attached.

From the attached imaged, the scatter plot is a straight line which goes up along the X - Y axis.

X = snowfall

Y = accident

Since the scatter plot is going up increasingly for any value plotted; it means as the amount of snow increases, the number of accidents increases. That is, as X (snowfall) increases Y (accident) increases also.

C) As the amount of snow increases, the number of accidents increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a relationship between snowfall and accidents since it creates a linear line. Since the line of best fit has a positive slope you know that both snowfall and accidents must be increasing.  

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
