The scatterplot below shows the number of bats in an area for the past 10 years.

Which equation best fits the data?

• y = –300x + 8,500

• y = –200x + 9,000

• y = 200x + 9,000

• y = 300x + 8,500

The graph below shows the amount of time students spent on homework and the amount of time spent working at a job each week.

Which equation best fits the data?

The scatterplot below shows the value of a boat over several years.

Which equation best fits the data?

• y = –8,000x + 58,000

• y = –5,000x + 60,000

• y= 5,000x + 60,000

• y = 8,000x + 58,000

The scatterplot below shows the population of seals in an area since 2000.

Based on a linear model, what does the slope represent?

• The number of seals in the area in 2000 was 2,500.

• The number of seals in the area in 2001 was 4,000.

• The seal population increased by about 140 seals a year.

• The seal population increased by about 200 seals a year.

CCSS.8.EE.B.5

A teacher surveyed her class to determine the number of hours students studied for a test and whether they passed the test. Her results are shown below.

                          0-1 Hr            2-3 Hrs              4 or more hrs 

Passed                   3                       9                          12
Didn't  passed      4                       1                           0
 
Approximately what percent of students that passed the test studied 2 to 3 hours?

• 31%

• 34%

• 38 %

• 45%

The relationship between grades on a test and the amount of time studied is graphed in the scatterplot below.

The line of best fit for this data set is y = 0.86x + 36.59. What is the meaning of the slope?

• If students do not study, they can expect a grade of 36.

• For every 10 minutes students study, they can expect their grade to improve by 8.6 points.

• For every 10 points more in the test score, students must study an additional 8.6 minutes.

• If students study for 1 hour, they can expect a grade of 86
