Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The high-low method involves using the highest and lowest values in a set of data to calculate the slope of a line. However, we do not have any actual data given in the format provided. Therefore, we cannot calculate the slope using the high-low method. Choice B is the only valid answer as it does not depend on any calculations.
