Multiple Choice

Use a graphing calculator to plot the data and find the quadratic function of best fit.
-An engineer collects data showing the speed s of a given car model and its average miles per gallon M. Use a graphing calculator to plot the scatter diagram. What is the quadratic function of best fit?  Speed, s  mph, M 2018302040235025602870248022\begin{array} { l | l } \text { Speed, s } & \text { mph, M } \\\hline 20 & 18 \\30 & 20 \\40 & 23 \\50 & 25 \\60 & 28 \\70 & 24 \\80 & 22\end{array}


A) M(s) = 0.063x2 + 0.720x + 5.142
B) M(s) = -0.631x2 + 0.720x + 5.142
C) M(s) = -0.0063x2 + 0.720x + 5.142
D) M(s) = -6.309x2 + 0.720x + 5.142
