Problem-Solving and Data Analysis - Two-variable data: Models and scatterplots

  • The scatterplot has 6 data points.
  • The data points are in an exponential pattern trending down from left to right.
  • A curve of best fit is shown:
    • The curve of best fit trends down from left to right. 
    • The curve of best fit passes through the following approximate coordinates:
      • (0 comma 126)
      • (1 comma 105)
      • (5 comma 50)
      • (10 comma 20)

The scatterplot shows the relationship between two variables, x and y . An equation for the exponential model shown can be written as y=abx, where a and b are positive constants. Which of the following is closest to the value of b ?
