FAN AND MEDAL

OpenStudy (adamgrimm):

shouldnt this be in english

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

No, this is math lol c:

OpenStudy (adamgrimm):

oh now i see it lol my bad

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

wins, do you know what a positive correlation is? c:

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Yes, having a positive slope! c:

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Yes it's positive, now why do you think it is a positive correlation? c: (you said it a while ago) :D

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Yes! :D

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

K, now next question! You have to draw the line of best fit c: Do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Close, but the line of best fit is just a strait line through the points! c:

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

alright! ^u^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry idk

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

need help with what?

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

oh okay I will leave then.

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Yes that's better! c:

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Ok, now C is asking what is the relationship between your line , and the points on the line. What do you think the relationship is? c:

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Yes, it's positive, but think about the line you just made. What is the relationship between it and the points? c: Your line is strait, and the points on the graph are scattered everywhere but they're close together, forming an almost perfect line.

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

or wait, let me rephrase that sentence.

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

The line you drew is an _______ of the scatter plot. c: hint: if it's not an EXACT line in the points, what is it then?

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Not nonlinear, but it's an estimate of the points on the scatter plot :D

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

It's an estimate of it because it's not exactly on the points, but just a line strait through! :3

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Alright, now D ask if the line is linear, and if so, write an equation for it. :3 So, do you think the line you drew is linear? c:

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Yes it is. Why? Because it makes a line :3 So now, we must make an equation for it!

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Let me show you an example of a line and it's linear equation c:

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Sorry, I was trying to do the explanation on the picture cx

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

one more.

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Sorry, I went backwards, let me fix the equation formation cx

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

there, so we first have to find the slope! Do you know how to do that? c:

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

The equation to slope is\[\frac{ rise }{ run }\]

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

That's the easiest one. So, let's take a look at your line! c:

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Ok, now we will choose any 2 points, and the slope between them.

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

ok! Let's use those points. Name them points A and B. Tell me the coordinates of those points c:

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

We will have to be using the slope formula!|dw:1452108183396:dw|
