Algebra Scatterplots and Lines of Best Fit Review

What is the best prediction for the number of candies in the jar when 30 students visit her?

• 90

• 180

• 135

• 150

Which of the following could be a possible line of best fit for the data?

• y = -5/2x + 20

• y = -x + 19

• y = x + 20

• y = 2/3x + 15

Suppose data related to the AVERAGE Temperature outside (T) and the number of winter Coats (C) sold at a store is collected and graphed.

The LINE OF BEST FIT has the equation C = -3T + 150.

Use this equation to predict the number of coats sold when the average temperature outside is 20°.

• 40

• 75

• 90

• 115

Suppose a LINE OF BEST FIT passes through the points (4, 8) and (6, 2). The SLOPE of this line is . . .?

• -3

• -6

• 4

• 2

The Y-INTERCEPT of this line is . . .? (hint: find the equation in point-slope form first and then put it into slope-intercept form)

• 11

• 4

• 9

• 20

In the scatter plot, does the image shows a "Line of Best Fit"?

• Yes

• No

Using your slope from the previous question, give the equation for the line of best fit in point-slope form (choose 1 of the 2 points you used to find the slope)
