Find the Line of Best Fit

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.

• y=65x+7

• y=1.14x+.64

• y=1.5x+64

What is the line of best fit?

• f(x)= 5x+1.82

• cannot be determined

• f(x)= 1.82x + 5.02

• f(x)= 1.1x + 4.2

• positive trend

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

Find the line of best fit

• y = 0.27x + 5.8

• y = 5.8x + 0.27

• y = 6

• y = 0

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) = 127x + 25.05

• f(x) = -127x + 25.05

• f(x) = 127x - 25.05

Calculate the line of best fit.

• y = 510x + 8750

• y = 8750 + 510x

• y = 3x + 10700

• y = 10700x + 3

Find the line of best fit.

• y = -0.96x + 0.78

• y = 0.66x - 0.89

• y = -2x + 2

• y = 2x - 2
