Using the line of best fit, what is the best approximation for the hourly rate of an individual with 6 years of experience?

a)
$10

b)
$11

c)
$12

d)
$13

Option: C is the correct answer.

C.)   $ 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Clearly from the scatter plot we could observe that the line of best fit passes through the point:

(0,6) and (4,10).

We know that the equation of a line passing through two point (a,b) and (c,d) is given by:

Here we have:

(a,b)=(0,6) and (c,d)=(4,10)

Hence, the equation of line of best fit is:

Hence, the hourly rate of an individual with 6 years of experience is the value of y when x=6

when x=6 we have:

y=6+6

y=12

Hence, the hourly rate of an individual with 6 years of experience is:

$ 12
