1.   Determine two points that appear to represent the data in the scatter plot. Then find and interpret the slope.
   
    A. Mary improved her free throw performance from year-to-year by an average of about 20% B. Mary improved her free throw performance from year-to-year by an average of about 25%.
    C. Mary improved her free throw performance from year-to-year by an average of about 15% D. Mary improved her free throw performance from year-to-year by an average of about 10%.
    Hint

  2.   Which is the best prediction equation for the data?
   
    A. y = 10x - 19,950 B. y = 20x - 19,950
    C. y = 5x - 19,950 D. y = 25x - 19,950
    Hint

  3.   Use a graphing calculator to find the equation of the regression line.
   
    A. y = 23x - 21,000 B. y = x - 576
    C. y = 12x - 23,947 D. y = 2x - 25
    Hint

  4.   Use two ordered pairs to write the equation of a best-fit line.
   
    A. y = 3x B. y = 5x + 75
    C. y = 3x + 72 D. y = 5x
    Hint

  5.   Ilene analyzed her test scores and determined the equation of the best-fit line was y = 4.25x + 72. Predict her score for the 5th test.
    A. 98.5 B. 88.75
    C. 93.25 D. 72.5
    Hint
