Identify a Relationship
Explain whether a scatter plot of the data for the number of cups of hot chocolate sold at a concession stand and the outside temperature might show a positive, negative, or no relationship.
As the temperature decreases, the number of cups of hot chocolate sold increases. Therefore, the scatter plot might show a negative relationship.

Line of Fit
ZOOS The table to the right shows the average and maximum longevity of various animals in captivity. Make a scatter plot using the data. Then draw a line that seems to best represent the data.
Line of Fit
Graph each of the data points.
Answer:
Draw a line that best fits the data.
PRODUCTION The table to the right shows the average hourly earnings of production workers since 2000. Make a scatter plot using the data. Then draw a line that seems to best represent the data.
ZOOS The graph shows the average and maximum longevity of various animals in captivity. Write an equation for the line of fit.
The line passes through the points at (15, 40) and (35, 70). Use these points to find the slope of the line.
