Question

Is this the best line of fit?
If so, is y=8/2.5x+1.4 the approximate equation in slope intercept form for the scatter plot?

Answer 1

are there any other lines to compare this one to

Answer 2

What do you mean? for this problem?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

oh nevermind

Answer 5

well no this is not the best line of fit. as you can see the dots dont match up with the line so the answer would be no and therefore since the answer is no i do not have to answer the second part

Answer 6

so how can I make it the best line of fit?

Answer 7

you just have to find the right equation that fits with the dots

Answer 8

so choose two dots that are on the line the best then, do find the slope and the y-intercept

Answer 9

sure you have to find the slope and y-intercept to find the best line that works

Answer 10

(0.5,3) and (2.5,9)?

Answer 11

@jhonyy9 what do you think?

Answer 12

lol honestly i have no idea

Answer 13

lol, That's okay, it this a better line of fit?

Answer 14

it looks the same

Answer 15

I know, i'm trying to figure out how to match it up with the dots like you said earlier.

Answer 16

@Bubbly then you check these two lines so from these the first one is better then the second

yes ? just check it

Answer 17

Okay

Answer 18

sorry i wasnt a great help

Answer 19

@bubbley check these lines from diagrammes - check the intersection points of ox and oy

so like an easy help what you think about points (0.5 , 3 ) and (2.5 , 9)

try drawn this line and will see the result

Answer 20

@Bubbly ok. ?

Answer 21

Got it.

Answer 22

very nice !!!! hope you understand it now sure

have a nice day


bye bye

Answer 23
