The scatterplot below shows the number of weeks that students have been in keyboarding class and the number of mistakes that they made on a keyboarding test. A graph titled Keyboarding mistakes has number of weeks in class on the x-axis and number of mistakes on the y-axis. Points are grouped together and decrease.

Which statement about the scatterplot is true?

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
