use a graphing calculator. chances are, it's not linear; it's probably got some high-degree function with non-whole number coefficients. i think you can download a free graphing calculator online.
By finding the line of best fit and using the straight line equation formula.
No. When you draw a best line of fit on the scattered plot, the line would not be straight.
graph
You write the equation in such a way that you have zero on the right side. Then you graph the expression on the left side of the equal sign, and check where it touches the x-axis. Note that this method works for most common equations.
y=-x Draw a straight line with slope -1 passing through (0,0). Or, plot (x,y) coordinates that satisfy the equation, and connect the dots.
So that you can plot out the points of a straight line on graph paper.

Plot the solution of the equation for various variables in the equation
A scattered plot is like a graph with a whole lot of dots as data. It tells if the data is almost the same or if it's going down the path all together.
Graph it (the equation).
Just like any other equation, you can set up a table of x values, and calculate the corresponding y values. Then plot the points on the graph. In this case, it helps to have some familiarity with quadratic equations (you can find a discussion in algebra books), and recognize (from the form of the equation) whether your quadratic equation represents a parabola, a circle, an ellipse, or a hyperbola.
Umm nobody can answer this question because we don't know what "the scatter plot below" is.

Least squares regression is one of several statistical techniques that could be applied.
