• 11
• Not a constant slope/Non-Linear

Find the equation of the line of best fit for the given data

• y=163.41x+4.19
• y=-163.41x+4.19
• y=-4.19x+163.41
• y= 4.19x+(-163.41)

Which scatter plot shows a linear relationship between x and y?

• Graph A
• Graph B
• Graph C
• Graph D

The table shown is comparing a person's foot length to their height in cm. Calculate a line of best fit.

• f(x) = 25.05x + 5.57
• f(x) = 5.57x + 25.05
• f(x) = -5.57x + 25.05
• f(x) = 5.57x - 25.05

Write the equation for the table given

• y = 1/3x
• y = 3x
• y = 1/2x

What is a line of best fit used for?

• To make predictions
• To make the graph look pretty
• To connect the points
• To make it look like you know what you are doing
