What would the line of Best fit and the slope intercept form be for this scatter plot

KynxKatz:

Can you take a full screenshot of the Graph

AZ:

I recognize that as a screenshot from Desmos. Can you provide us with the exact value of those points? We can use Excel to graph the line of best fit and determine the slope-intercept form for the line of best fit. (I'm not sure if they're expecting you to just manually calculate the line of best fit based on observation or if they want a precise answer, however the exact points would be helpful regardless)

Angee:

Calculate the best fit put the line in the middle also show the full screen shot.

AthenaSaige:

sure, here, these are the points, x on the left y on the right

AZ:

You can use this calculator online to calculate the linear regression line (basically the line of best fit) https://www.socscistatistics.com/tests/regression/default.aspx

AZ:

I plugged it into Excel and it gave me the same line of best fit so it's calculating it using the least squares method
