Given the data set (10, 45), (25, 70), (46, 105), which of the following equations best represents a line of best fit?
y = one thirdx + 40.5
y = five thirdsx + 28.33
y = four thirdsx − 40.5
y = three fifthsx − 28.33

its b
OpenStudy (chillydog0):
Ok how did you get that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
take any 2 points and find the equation of that line
OpenStudy (chillydog0):
I did that but I got lost on the 45 because I got a weird number when I did it.

ok i will walk you through it
OpenStudy (chillydog0):
Okay thank you.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lets take the first 2 points (10, 45), (25, 70), lets first find the slop with is( y2-y1/x2-x1)

let me know if you understand this
OpenStudy (chillydog0):
.Okay. I get it but I thought you were supposed to divide?

yes (70-45) divided by (25-10)=25/15 which can be reduced to 5/3
OpenStudy (chillydog0):
Oh okay thank you so much.
OpenStudy (chillydog0):
Can you help me with another question? Please
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok open new tab
OpenStudy (chillydog0):
