Tell me: what do your elf eyes see?

anonymous · Answer

??

wolfe8 · Answer

What do you see in the graph? When it's colder, what about the cups of hot chocolate? If it's warmer?

anonymous · Answer

i bet lol

hysusonic · Answer

okay back to math
do you know how to get the line of best fit

anonymous · Answer

umm no can you explain

hysusonic · Answer

does your teacher let you use graphing calculators?

anonymous · Answer

i do it on the computer my teacher said use the worldwide web lol

anonymous · Answer

@hysusonic

anonymous · Answer

ohh yeah i know what a line of fit is @hysusonic

hysusonic · Answer

lol so you know how to get it right?

anonymous · Answer

the answer tp the question?

hysusonic · Answer

the line of best fit is the answer to this question

anonymous · Answer

Part A: In your own words, describe the relationship between the temperature of the city and the number of cups of hot chocolate sold. (2 points)
Part B: Describe how you can make the line of best fit. Write the approximate slope and y-intercept of the line of best fit. Show your work. (3 points)

anonymous · Answer

thats the question it asked

anonymous · Answer

@hysusonic

hysusonic · Answer

internet is fixed and do you know how to get the line of best fit?

anonymous · Answer

i dont know how to get it this is my last question you think you could help explain the answer?

hysusonic · Answer

maybe

anonymous · Answer

maybe aha?

hysusonic · Answer

aha? what are this aha?

There is always a line of best fit, not all (and sometimes none) of the points will be under the line. 

The line is an average (with the purpose of minimizing the distance from the line to each point). The easiest way to find the actual line is to plot all of the points on Excel (or similar software) and find the line of best fit (the program does this for you).

So you'd make two columns:

Temp    Cups
20         20
30         18
35         15
40         22
45          20
50         20
60         14
65         18
70         8
80         10

The previous image is not the actual trendline, just what it should roughly look like. To get the actual trendline (or line of best fit) open excel; 

1. Plot the data

2. Highlight both columns

3. select "Chart", then "scatter plot"

4. Highlight data and select "Add Trendline"

Make sure you select "display equation" in the trendline options

The equation is displayed  on the chart, look at the image that is attached.
