The scatter plot shows a relatively strong linear relationship between the two variables. As the x-values increase, the y-values also increase in a fairly consistent way. Therefore, a linear model would be the best choice to represent this relationship. The other models (quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, logistic) would not fit this data as well.
