What is the pattern displayed in the scatterplot between the number of cups of hot tea sold and the air temperature?

The answer is As air temperature increased, hot tea sales decreased. I just did this question and this answer was right.

C: As air temperature increased, hot tea sales decreased.

Each time the temperature increases, you can notice that the sales in the hot tea decreased. This is because the higher the temperature, the less people will need hot tea, since, as said, the temperature is increasing, which means cooler drinks/foods will be needed instead of hotter drinks/foods.

I hope this helps you! ↖(^ω^)↗

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
