Select the statement that best describes the line.

• The line is the line of best fit.
• The line is NOT a line of best fit because it does not pass through two points.
• The line is NOT a line of best fit because it does not go through the middle of the data set.
• The line is NOT a line of best fit because it does not go through the origin.
