• Choice D

    From the scatterplot, estimate two points that the line of best fit passes through. The data runs approximately from (5,8)(5, 8) to (30,17)(30, 17).

    The slope of the line of best fit is approximately:

    m178305=925=0.36m \approx \frac{17 - 8}{30 - 5} = \frac{9}{25} = 0.36

    This is closest to 130.33\dfrac{1}{3} \approx 0.33.
