Jacob distributed a survey to his fellow students asking them how many hours they spent on the Internet in the past day. He also asked them to rate their mood on a scale from 0 to 10, with 10 being the happiest. A line was fit to the data to model the relationship.

The linear equation B. y = -x +7.5 best describes the given model. The mood rating for a student that spent 5.5 hours online would be 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; We plot the points that fall on the line and that lie on an exact x or y coordinate. The following 4 points are plotted (0.5, 7), (2, 5.5), (2.5, 5) and (3.5, 4). We substitute the values of x in the given equations to see which best describes the model.

Step 2; When y = x + 7.5, we get the coordinates as (0.5, 8), (2, 9.5), (2.5, 10) and (3.5, 11).

When y = -x + 7.5, the coordinates are (0.5, 7), (2, 5.5), (2.5, 5) and (3.5, 4).

When y = + 7.5, the coordinates are (0.5, 7.25), (2, 6.5), (2.5, 6.25) and        (3.5, 5.75).

So equation 2 has the closest values to the actaul graph.

Step 3; By substituting x = 5.5, y = -(5.5) + 7.5 = 7.5 - 5.5 = 2.
