Question

4 which scatter plot does not show an appropriate line of best fit? a b c d

Explanation:

To determine which scatter plot does not show an appropriate line of best fit, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The points generally follow the negative - sloped line, with most points close to or on the line.
• Option B: The points are clustered around the positive - sloped line, showing a good linear trend.
• Option C: The line of best fit does not represent the trend of the points well. The points are more scattered and do not follow the negative - sloped line as closely as in the other options. There are many points far from the line, indicating it is not an appropriate line of best fit.
• Option D: The points are closely aligned with the positive - sloped line, showing a strong linear trend.

Answer:

C
