The scatter plot shows a hiker's elevation above sea level during a hike from the base to the top of a mountain. The equation of a trend line for the hiker's elevation is y equals=9.069.06xplus+651651, where x represents the number of minutes and y represents the hiker's elevation in feet. Use the equation of the trend line to estimate the hiker's elevation after 175 minutes.

Ibelieve a is the correct answer because 3 is the y-intercept you can see it from the graph. so from here the answers could only be a and c. they are differently at the sign.substitute x with 1so the equation for a is 3*(1.4)^x3*(1.4)^1 = 4.2look back at the graph it is true that when x= 1 y= 4.2if you use equation from c. when x= 1 then y will be negative number which is falseso correct answer is a
