Explanation

Choice C is correct. On the line of best fit, an x-value of 1,200 corresponds to a y-value between 10 and 12 . Therefore, of the given choices, 11 is closest to the y-value predicted by the line of best fit at x=1,200.

Choice A is incorrect. This is the integer value closest to the y-value predicted by the line of best fit at x=1,800.

Choice B is incorrect. This is the integer value closest to the y-value predicted by the line of best fit at x=1,500.

Choice D is incorrect. This is the integer value closest to the y-value predicted by the line of best fit at x=600.
