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 a LINE OF BEST FIT passes through the points (6, 34) and (8, 50). The EQUATION of this line is . . .? (hint: find the slope and the equation in point-slope form. THEN put it into slope-intercept form)

• y = 8x – 5

• y = 2x

• y = 2x + 7

• y = 8x – 14
