Find an equation of a line that comes close to the points listed in below. Then use a graphing calculator to check that your line comes close to the points.x (2,4,5,6,8)y (12,10,6,6,1)A.y = 2 x + 2B.y = negative 2 x + 17C.y = negative 2 x + 18D.y = negative 1.3 x + 15

Answer:Option B: y = -2x + 17.Step-by-step explanation:Lets calculate values for option B:x = 2 , y = -4+17 = 13   ( B gives the value 12) x = 4, y = -8+17 = 9   (10)x = 5, y = -10+17 = 7  (6)x = 6, y = -12+17 = 5 (6)x = 8, y = -16+17 =- 1  (1)Sum of the differences =  1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4. These values are close to the ones given in the question.Option A  y = 6, 10, 12, 14, 18 -  some of the values of y are  a lot different than the given values.Option C:Working them out we get y =  14, 10, 8, 6, 2. which are not quite as good as Option B values The total difference is 5 compared with 4 for option B.Option D.y =  12.4,  9.8, 8.5, 7.2, 4.6 where some of  the differences are large.
