Line of best fit

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

Order the equations below from best to worst in terms of how they best fit the data. y = -x+15 y = -2x+18 y = -2x+19 y = -3x+23

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

I think it should be in this order but im not sure and I want to be sure B,C,A,D

@Zarkon

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

draw a straight line through the points where would it hit the y axis?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

ok and then what?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

is there any way to find it without doing the line

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

draw it in your head

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

where would it hit |dw:1457217330290:dw| this line

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

y = -x+15-----15 y = -2x+18----18 y = -2x+19----19 y = -3x+23----23

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

yes i know that

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

answer my question

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

for that picture with all those point on the graph

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

0,15 0,18 0,19 0,23

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

draw an imaginary line IN your head where would the line that you made IN your head hit the y axis

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

18

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

0,18

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

because of the slope that it has

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

yes so what equation would u use?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

I think it should be in this order but im not sure and I want to be sure B,C,A,D
