What is the equation for the linear model in the scatter plot obtained by choosing the two points closest to the line?
a)y = -3 x+ 56
b)y = -2 x +46
c)y = -2 x +56
d)y = 2 x + 56

The best choice would probably be C. We know the y-intercept is higher than 46 and that the slope is negative. That leaves us with choice A and C. We can eliminate A because when using the slope formula, the answer is closer to 2 than 3. However, even though it's most likely C, I would check first.

I’m not sure how this works
