SAT Mathematics QUESTION #5466
Question 1
The scatterplot shows $x$ and $y$ with a negative linear trend. Which equation is the most appropriate linear model?
  • $y = 0.9 + 9.4x$
  • $y = 0.9 - 9.4x$
  • $y = 9.4 + 0.9x$
  • $y = 9.4 - 0.9x$✔️
Correct Answer Explanation
A negative linear trend requires a negative slope. Option 4 has a negative slope ($-0.9$) and a reasonable intercept.
