Answer:
B.) y= 0.087x+0.587; $4.76
Step-by-step explanation:
Without doing a lot of work, you can weed out the answer choices that don't make any sense.
The approximately $2.75 rise in price in 32 years is about $0.90 per year (to 1 significant digit), so rules out answer choices C and D.
The low-end prices near $1 rule out answer choice A, which has a y-interecept well above the $1 range. That leaves answer choice B.
_____
If you go to the trouble to enter the data into a calculator and have it give you the line of best fit, you find it is about ...
... y = 0.867917x +0.586889 . . . . . matches selection B
and this equation gives you a value for x=48 (year 2028) that is $4.75. Rounding the equation coefficients before you use them will give a different value for the year 2028.
