Verified Answer :

The answer should be C) $12

Answer:

Option: C is the correct answer.

C.)   $ 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Clearly from the scatter plot we could observe that the line of best fit passes through the point:

(0,6) and (4,10).

We know that the equation of a line passing through two point (a,b) and (c,d) is given by:

@@MATH_TOKEN_0@@

Here we have:

(a,b)=(0,6) and (c,d)=(4,10)

Hence, the equation of line of best fit is:

@@MATH_TOKEN_1@@

Hence, the hourly rate of an individual with 6 years of experience is the value of y when x=6

when x=6 we have:

y=6+6

y=12

Hence, the hourly rate of an individual with 6 years of experience is:

$ 12
