The graph shows number of blooms a rose bush has if x units of fertilizer is added to the soil. If the trend continues, about how many rose blooms would the bush have if 12 units of fertilizer is added? LINK BELOW

The scatter plot shows the average monthly outside temperature and the monthly electricity cost.
Based on the scatter plot, what is the best prediction for the electricity cost if the temperature for the month is 21°C? LINK BELOW

I think what they want is the line that passes through the most points. The easiest way to see which one passes through the most points is to look at a graph here: desmos
You can hide/show a line by clicking on the colored circles at the very left end of the window.
So, we can see that the blue line passes through the most points.
That is, the line y = x + 3 . (I don't like this answer very much though, to be honest!)

This one is a little harder to see where exactly the points are. Let's just find the equation of a line that passes through the first point, (1, 1) , and last point, (3, 5) .
slope = (5 - 1)/(3 - 1) = 4/2 = 2
y - 1 = 2(x - 1)
y - 1 = 2x - 2
y = 2x - 1 Based on this, we can see the other options are way off!
6.
Hmmm, I don't really see much of a predictable trend here! But, the amount of blooms will probably be greater than 18. So, my guess is 22.
10.
From ≈ 12º to ≈ 17º the cost changed from ≈ $200 to ≈ $400
That is, with a 5º change in temperature, the cost changes about $200
So...from 16º to 21º the cost will probably change from ≈ $300 to ≈ $600

1. I used this tool to generate the best-fit line :
http://www.alcula.com/calculators/statistics/linear-regression/
The generated equation is about y = 1x + 3.26 which is closest to
y = x + 3 ........So....hectictar's answer is good
2. This looks to be almost linear.....the best fit appars to be y = 2x -1......as hectictar said
3. This is the same graph as 2..... so.....2(12) - 1 = 23.......
"22" seems to be the closest value
4. Very difficult to tell what the exact values are, but hectictar's logic seems sound.....!!!!
