Lake Points
1. Identify the axes of the scatter graph: the x-axis represents the number of fish, and the y-axis represents the number of plastic bottles.
2. We are looking for a point representing a lake with 140 fish and 80 plastic bottles, so we need to find the point close to x = 140 and y = 80.
3. Reviewing the given points:
- A at (50, 140)
- B at (80, 140)
- C at (140, 150)
- D at (130, 90)
- E at (150, 85)
- F at (250, 80)
- G at (120, 70)
- H at (110, 40)
4. The point closest to (140, 80) is E at (150, 85), but it is a bit high on fish and plastic bottles.
5. Point D at (130, 90) is slightly less fish and more bottles compared to 140 fish and 80 bottles.
6. Since none of the points is exactly at (140, 80), the closest given point by coordinates is E (150, 85), representing a lake with approximately 150 fish and 85 plastic bottles, which is quite close.
7. Therefore, the best fitting point on the graph for 140 fish and 80 plastic bottles is point E.
