The equation which best models the data in the scatterplot is: D. y = -16743x² + 19.76x + 745.73.

How to interpret the scatter plot?

By critically observing the scatter plot shown in the image attached below, we can logically deduce that it's data are best modelled by a quadratic equation (parabolic curve).

Mathematically, the equation of a quadratic equation (parabolic curve) is given by:

y = ax² + bx + c

Since the parabolic curve opens downward, we have:

a < 0, c > 0, x = 0 and y > 0;

y = -16743x² + 19.76x + 745.73.
