Two Grade 7 students, Monique and Matt, both solved the following math problem: If the temperature drops from 7°F to −17°F, by how much did the temperature decrease? The students came up with different answers. Monique said the answer is 24°F, and Matt said the answer is 10°F. Who is correct? Explain.

Ted and meg have each drawn a line on the scatter plot shown below: the graph shows numbers from 0 to 10 on x and y axes at increments of 1. dots are made at the ordered pairs 1, 8 and 2, 7.5 and 3, 6 and 4, 5.5 and 4.5, 4.8 and 5, 4 and 6, 3.5 and 7, 3 and 8, 1.9 and 9, 1.2 and 10, 0. a straight line labeled line p joins the ordered pairs 0, 8.5 and 10.1, 0. a straight line labeled line r joins the ordered pairs 0, 8.5 and 7.8, 0. which line best represents the line of best fit? line p, because it is closest to most data points line p, because it shows a positive association line r, because it is closest to most data points line r, because it shows a negative association
