PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! BRAINLIEST, THANK YOU AND 15PTS!!!!Jack plotted the graph below to show the relationship between the temperature of his city and the number of ice cream cones he sold daily:Describe how you can make the line of best fit. Write the approximate slope and y-intercept of the line of best fit. Show your work, including the points that you use to calculate slope and y-intercept.

Question
Answer:
A. There is a positive correlation between the temperature and the amount of ice cream sold. This means that as the temperature increases the amount of ice cream also increases.

B. For the best fit you must calculate the slope between two points that are more-or-less representative of the entire graph.  In this case it seems to have already done this with certain points so if you take the points (15,35) and (0,5) you can calculate the slope between these two points which is m=(35-5)/(15-0)=30/15=2.  So the best fit slope for this particular case would be two and you would just draw a line through the graph at approximately the middle of the dots to best represent all of the data.

and the y-intercept is 5 so the approximate equation for the graph would be y=2x+5
