Choose the scatter plot with data that could best be modeled by a linear function.
Short Answer
The scatter plot in (d) can be best modeled by a linear function.
Step by step solution
– State the concept
The graph of a linear function is a straight line. So, the data which approximately follows a linear trend, that is, whose scatter plot can be approximately represented by a line, can best be modeled by a linear function.
– List the given data
Four scatter plots as follows:
The objective is to choose the scatter plot that could best be modeled by a linear function.
– Choose the plot
Out of the four given scatter plots, only the data in the scatter plot in (d) appears to approximately lie on a line and thus can be approximately represented by a line.
So, the scatter plot in (d) can be best modeled by a linear function.
