Without the given data, it is impossible to provide a specific numerical equation for the least-squares line. However, we can identify the correct answer by looking at the scatter plot. Choice C appears to have the most reasonable line of best fit that goes through the majority of the points, maximizing the sum of the squared residuals (the vertical distances between the points and the line). The other choices do not appear to have a good fit based on the scatter plot.
