question 91

Multiple Choice

Write the best-fit linear model for the data.
-The paired data below consist of the temperatures on randomly chosen days and the amount a certain kind of plant grew (in millimeters) . Find a linear function that approximates a plant's growth as a function of temperature. $\begin{array}{c|cccccccrc}\text { Temp } & 62 & 76 & 50 & 51 & 71 & 46 & 51 & 44 & 79 \\\hline \text { Growth } & 36 & 39 & 50 & 13 & 33 & 33 & 17 & 6 & 16\end{array}$

• A) \(y = - 14.6 - 0.211 x\)
• B) \(y = 7.30 + 0.122 x\)
• C) \(y = 7.30 - 0.112 x\)
• D) \(y = 14.6 + 0.211 x\)
