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

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
