This W3C-unspecified chart was created with R.

cars$dist.m <- cars$dist*0.3048
plot(dist.m ~ speed.kph, data=cars, xlab = "Speed (km/h)", ylab = "Stopping distance (m)", las = 1)
null.model <- lm(dist.m~1, data=cars)  #This creates and stores a model ("lm" means "Linear Model").
abline(null.model, col="red")     #"abline" is a simple function that plots a straight line
