Question 2 A researcher determined the amount of ducks that were in a pond over a four year time span. The results are shown in the table below.
Year Ducks
1
61
2
73
3
85
4
97
Select an equation that best models the amount of ducks (d) that will be in the pond during the nth"> year.
A
d = 12n +49
B
d = 12n +61
С
d = 49(1.12)n-1
D
d = 61(1.22)n-1

definitely a. the others have almost all data points on one side of the line.

step-by-step explanation:

could you provide figure.

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.
