Daniel wants to predict how much time a hike will take based on the distance of the hike. He collected some data on the time (in hours) and distance (in kilometers) of some of his previous hikes. His data is summarized in the following table:
||||||
:-- | --: | --: | --: | --: | --: | --: | --: | --: | --: | --: |
**Distance (km)** | $5.00$ | $8.00$ | $9.50$ | $16.00$ | $18.00$
**Time (hours)** | $2.00$ | $2.75$ | $4.00$ | $7.25$ | $8.50$
**All of the scatter plots below display the data *correctly*, but which one of them displays the data *best*?**
*By convention, a good scatter plot uses a reasonable scale on both axes and puts the independent variable on the $x$-axis.*
