Use the following data to calculate the curve of the best-fit.

y = 0.4x^2 + 3.4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates (-5,-3) work with this equation. Please give brainliest, I need 1 more to move on to the next tier.

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

putting x = 1 in the 3rd option,

0.4+3.4+4 = 7.8

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3
