(a) Construct a scatterplot for the data provided to represent the number of electric cars sold each year. Be sure to number and label your axes, and explain any choices you made in scaling your graph.

(b) Estimate a good line of fit for these data. What is the meaning of the slope and vertical axis intercept you have estimated in the context of the problem?
