Which statement is true about using scatter plots to make predictions?

• You cannot make predictions by visually using the trend line.

• Any two points can be used to draw a trend line.

• All you need is the slope of the trend line.

• You can use the equation of a trend line to find the y-value of a given x-value.

What are the slope and y-intercept of the line?

• The slope is approximately 3 and the y-intercept is 2.

• The slope is approximately 1.33 and the y-intercept is 2.

• The slope is approximately 2 and the y-intercept is 3.

• The slope is approximately 2 and the y-intercept is 1.33.
