Which scatter plot(s) could be modelled using a curve instead of a line of best fit? Explain.

A scientist tested the strength of wood beams by securing beams of various lengths and placing a 500—kg mass at the end of each beam. The table shows the mean deflections, in centimetres.

a) Make a scatter plot of the data. Draw a curve of best fit.

b) Describe the relationship between the length of the beam and the deflection.

c) Use your curve of best fit to predict the deflection of a 6.0-m-long beam.
