A golf ball was dropped from 8 different heights.The drop height and the bounce height were recorded. $$\begin{array} { c c }
\text { Drop Height } ( \mathrm { cm } ) & \text { Bounce Height } ( \mathrm { cm } ) \
96 & 73 \
84 & 65 \
72 & 55 \
60 & 46 \
48 & 38 \
36 & 29 \
24 & 19 \
12 & 8
\end{array}$$
A) $\hat{\text { bounce }}$ = 73 - .765 drop
B) $\hat{\text { bounce} }$ = -0.335 + 1.305 drop
C) $\hat{\text { bounce} }$ = 0.321 + .765 drop
D) $\hat{\text { bounce} }$ = 95 - 9.1 drop
E) $\hat{\text { bounce} }$ = 0.215 + .866 drop
