Question

1. The table gives the population of a town for the years 2000–2009.
2000=1605
2001=1728
2002=1776
2003=1903
2004=2072
2005=2050
2006=2141
2007=2150
2008=2318
2009=2363

a. Make a scatter plot of the data, draw a line of best fit, and then find the equation of the line of best fit. Show and explain your work.
b. Describe what the slope of the line of best fit represents.
c. Use the equation to predict the population in the year 2013. Show your work.

Answer 1

i know for sure its not a

Answer 2

sorry hope this helps

Answer 3

bro this multiple questions not a multiple choice

Answer 4

i really need someone to answer thesee

Answer 5

oh sorry

Answer 6

yeah its fine

Answer 7

Well, do u know what a scatter plot is?

Answer 8

yeah and i tried graphing it a thousand times but it never made a straight line

Answer 9

which two points should I use

Answer 10

Its called the scatter plot

Answer 11

What are you asking

Answer 12

okay, so you want to turn all those numbers given into points.

What is the independent variable in this question?

Answer 13

It’s not supposed to be a straight line; it should appear scattered. The idea is to create a linear line of best fit that best approximates the data

This can either be done by hand (by estimating a line that fits the pattern of the data) or using software that will automatically calculate the equation of the best fit line

Answer 14

okay and whats the answer for b and c
