Part 1
Find the equation of the line of best fit. Round to two decimal places as needed. Choose the correct answer below.
 
 
A.y equals 19.42 x plus 37 comma 527.15
y=19.42x+37,527.15
 
B.y equals negative 37 comma 527.15
y=−37,527.15
 
C.y equals 19.42 x minus 37 comma 527.15
y=19.42x−37,527.15
Your answer is correct.
 
D.y equals negative 37 comma 527.15 x plus 19.42
y=−37,527.15x+19.42
