The function P = 4x + 110 represents a good approximation of a linear model for the scatter plot.
What is a scatter plot?
It is a type of plot in which points are plotted using the coordinates and the shape of the plot is observed.
The graph is given. From the graph, let's take the points (0, 110) and (6, 130).
Let the function be P = kx + b, where k≠0.
Steps
Substitute (0, 110) in this function:
110 = k(0) + b
∴ b = 110
Substitute (6, 130) the value of b in the function:
130 = 6k + 110
6k = 20
k = 3.33
Now substitute the values of k and b in the function:
P = 3.33x + 110
The function that comes the closest to this is A = 4x + 110.
The other options don't come close to the function that we have determined. Hence they are wrong.
Therefore, the function P = 4x + 110 represents a good approximation of a linear model for the scatter plot. The correct answer is option A.
