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

OpenStudy (bjb2000):

45

OpenStudy (bjb2000):

a

OpenStudy (chillydog0):

Yes thank you. Wait how did you figure that out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cat be a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cant be a

OpenStudy (chillydog0):

Then what is it? @magepker728

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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) |dw:1454002632811:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me know if you understand this

OpenStudy (chillydog0):

.Okay. I get it but I thought you were supposed to divide?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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):

How do I do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

close this one and ask new question then use this sign"@" and link me to that question

OpenStudy (chillydog0):

Okay!!
