Which of the following equations best represents the line of best fit shown?

","rationale_html":"

Choice A is correct. The line of best fit shown intersects the y-axis at a positive y-value and has a positive slope. The graph of an equation of the form y=a+bx, where a\n and b\n are constants, intersects the y-axis at a y-value of a\n and has a slope of b\n. Of the given choices, only choice A represents a line that intersects the y-axis at a positive y-value, 2.8\n, and has a positive slope, 1.7\n.

\n

Choice B is incorrect. This equation represents a line that has a negative slope, not a positive slope.

\n

Choice C is incorrect. This equation represents a line that intersects the y-axis at a negative y-value, not a positive y-value.

\n

Choice D is incorrect. This equation represents a line that intersects the y-axis at a negative y-value, not a positive y-value, and has a negative slope, not a positive slope.
