The results are shown in the table.  Fertilizer, x100150200250 Yield, y35445056\begin{array} { | c | c | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Fertilizer, } x & 100 & 150 & 200 & 250 \\\hline \text { Yield, } y & 35 & 44 & 50 & 56 \\\hline\end{array} (a) Use the regression capabilities of a graphing utility or a spreadsheet to find the least squares regression line for the data. (b) Estimate the yield for a fertilizer application of 160 pounds per acre.


A) y=0.15x+15.1y = 0.15 x + 15.1
B) y=0.155x+21.1y = 0.155 x + 21.1
C) y=0.138x+22.1y = 0.138 x + 22.1
D) y=0.052x+34y = 0.052 x + 34
