8) Which equation BEST models the data? 185 a) V=x+ 157 b) Y=x+175 c) Y=x- 150 d) Y=.x+130 180 175 170- 165 Hint: Draw a line of best fit and have it cross 160- the y-axis (that is the y-intercept). See which equation closely matches the y-intercept. You can also pick two points that would be on/near the line to see which slope is the 155 50 60 70 80 90 100 weight closest to the options given.
