Would a linear function be a good model for this data?

• No, it does not make a perfect line.

• Yes, it approximates a line.

Would a linear function be a good model for this data.

• Yes, the data is represented by a single line.

• No, the data does not fit the pattern of a single line, BUT it can be represented by two linear functions.

• No

In a basketball game, TEAM A scored 20 pts by the end of the 1st quarter. They had a score of 42 pts by the end of the 2nd quarter.

If their points can be modeled linearly, how many points should they have at the end of the game (4th quarter)?

• 84

• 62

• 108

• 95
