Answer:

42                           Option(A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here scattered graph is given.  

x-axis represents the Number of Apples

y-axis represents the Pounds of Apples.

Find the slope of scattered line.

Slope(m) = (Change in y)/(Change in x)

m=[tex]\frac{25-5}{45-9}[/tex]

m=[tex]\frac{20}{36}=\frac{5}{9}[/tex]

now equation of line:

y - y₁ = m(x-x₁)

[tex]y-5=\frac{5}{9}(x-25)[/tex]

Now put x =80 in this equation and solve for y

[tex]y-5=\frac{5}{9}(80-25)[/tex]

y = 42.6

or

y ≈42

So, Number of apples = 42

That's the final answer.
