Answer:
(a) The amount of ice cream increase as temperature increases
(b)
--- equation
--- y intercept
--- slope
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for graph
Solving (a): The relationship between the variables
From the attached graph, the dots on the graph increases towards up-right direction. This implies that there is a positive correlation between the variables.
In other words;
The amount of ice cream increase as temperature increases
Solving (b): The line of best fit
First, we draw a line through the points (the line should have almost equal points on both sides; see attachment 2).
From (2), we select any 2 points on the line:
The slope (m) is:
So, the line of best fit is:
Substitute known values:
The y-intercept is when
So, we have:
