Each dot in the scatterplot above represents the height x, in feet, in the high jump, and the distance y, in feet, in the long jump, made by each student in a group of twenty students. The graph of which of the following equations is a line that most closely fits the data?

\n","rationale_html":"

Choice C is correct. A line that most closely fits the data is a line with an approximately balanced number of data points above and below the line. Fitting a line to the data shown results in a line with an approximate slope of 3 and a y-intercept near the point \"with. An equation for the line can be written in slope-intercept form, \"y, where m is the slope and b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept. The equation \"y in choice C fits the data most closely.

Choices A and B are incorrect because the slope of the lines of these equations is 0.82, which is a value that is too small to be the slope of the line that fits the data shown. Choice D is incorrect. The graph of this equation has a y-intercept at \"the, not \"the. This line would lie below all of the data points, and therefore would not closely fit the data.
