Analyze Scatterplot and Line of Best Fit

The scatterplot shows data collected from 9 people about how much money they earned based on the hours they worked. Use 2 points on the line of best fit and find the slope.

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)

The scatter plot shows the relationship between the number of chapters and the total number of pages for several books. Use the trend line to predict how many chapters would be in a book with 180 pages.

• 12 chapters

• 15 chapters

• 18 chapters

• 21 chapters

Select the statement that best describes the line.

• The line is the line of best fit.

• The line is a line of best fit because it is increasing and so is the data.

• 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.

Which sentence describes the relationship shown on this scatter plot?

• As the temperature decreases, the visitors increase.

• As the temperature increases, the number of visitors increases.

• As the visitors increase, the temperature decreases.

• No correlation

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 scatter plot shows the relationship between the number of chapters and the total number of pages for several books. Use the trend line to predict how many pages would be in a book with 19 chapters. 

• 150 pages

• 170 pages

• 190 pages

• 210 pages
