Question

Consider the data given in the table.

x	0	4	8	12	16	20	24
y	158	156	152	145	133	120	107

(a) Make a scatter plot.

A. A graph has a horizontal axis with values from 0 to 30 and a vertical axis with values from 0 to 200. The scatter plot has 7 points. A pattern goes down and right from (0, 165) to (24, 113).

B. A graph has a horizontal axis with values from 0 to 30 and a vertical axis with values from 0 to 200. The scatter plot has 7 points. A pattern goes up and right becoming less steep from (0, 107) to (24, 158).

C. A graph has a horizontal axis with values from 0 to 30 and a vertical axis with values from 0 to 200. The scatter plot has 7 points. A pattern goes up and right from (0, 113) to (24, 165).

D. A graph has a horizontal axis with values from 0 to 30 and a vertical axis with values from 0 to 200. The scatter plot has 7 points. A pattern goes down and right becoming more steep from (0, 158) to (24, 107).
