Each of the graphs below represents a line of best fit derived from some data. Match each equation on the left to its graphical representation on the right.

7x + 8y = 84

1

A

graph of a line passing through (-6, -3) and (2, -9)

$$\displaystyle y = \frac{2}{5}x -1$$

2

B

graph of a line passing through (0, 10.5) and (12, 0)

y - 5 = 3(x - 8)

3

C

graph of a line passing through (0, -1) and (5, 1)

$$\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{-2}{7}x - 4$$

4

D

graph of a line passing through (-7, -2) and (7, -6)

$$\displaystyle y + 9 = -\frac{3}{4}(x - 2)$$

5

E

graph of a line passing through (5, -4) and (8, 5)
