help anybody

OpenStudy (danjs):

do you need to draw a 'best fit' line through those points?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe I don't know

OpenStudy (danjs):

i think that is what they want you to do. Draw a best fit line, and then find the slope and the y intercept

OpenStudy (danjs):

Use the points like... (2 , 70) and (4, 95) those seem pretty good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (danjs):

you want to have about the same amount of dots * distance above and below the lines on the graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

95-2/70-4

OpenStudy (danjs):

the slope --> (95-70) / (4 - 2)

OpenStudy (danjs):

y - y1 = m*(x-x1) use (2,70) = x1,y1) and that slope you calculate,

OpenStudy (danjs):

Then put into form y = mx+b

@AJ01

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pick these 2 ponits (1.5,50) (2.5,70)

OpenStudy (danjs):

hah, what was unclear that i said?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

from these 2 points find the slope M then uses this equation y-yo=m(x-xo)
