Caroline weighs her new puppy every month to see how much it has grown. If age is a and weight is W, which of these is the correct equation of best fit?

• W = 3.6 + 8.9

• W = 3.6a + 8.9

• a = 8.9W + 3.6

• W = 8.9a + 3.6

David is training for a race and records his fastest time after each week of training. Is this data better represented by a line or a curve?

• Line

• Curve

David is training for a race and records his fastest time after each week of training. Let t be the weeks David has trained and S be his sprint time. Which of these is the correct curve of best fit for the data?

• S = 0.05t² - 0.66t +32.35

• S = 0.05t - 0.66t +32.35

• S = -0.31t + 32.06

• S = -0.31t² + 32.06
