Scatterplots and Line Curve of Best Fit

Using the quadratic curve of best fit, find the height of the ball when it traveled a distance of 10 feet.

• 12.8 ft

• 13.3 ft

• 11.1 ft

• 17 ft

Based on this pattern, would a Linear or Quadratic model be most appropriate?

• Quadratic

• Linear

The equation of the trend line is y= 1/2x +1
How many laps can a bicycle make around the park in 23 minutes?

• 44 laps

• 12 1/2 laps

• 23 laps

If this is an equation for a curve of best fit, find the output (y) when the input (x) is 13:

y = 1.2x² - 3.7x - 19

• -51.5

• 135.7

• 154.7

• 183,8

find line of best fit using calculator through these points (0,0)(1,2) (3,5) (6,7)

• y=65x+7

• y=1.14x+.64

• y=1.5x+64

For which set of data would a linear model best fit?

• 
•

A scientist dropped an object from a height of 200 feet. She recorded the height of the object in 0.5-second intervals. Her data is shown.

Based on a quadratic model, which best approximates the height at 3 seconds?

• 52 feet

• 55 feet

• 65 feet

• 80 feet

Using the curve of best fit, what would be the output (y) when the input (x) is 7?

• 260

• 240

• 140

• 320

Calculate the Curve of Best Fit for this table of values:

• y = 2x² - 9x + 10

• y = 3x² + 9x - 10

• y = 3.1x² - 9.2x - 10.3

• y = 2.1x² - 8.6x + 10.1

What would the equation be that best fits this data?:

{(-15, 53.5), (-14, 28), (-3, 18), (0, 4), (6, 27), (14, 50)}

• y = .17x²+.45x+12.43

• y = .16x²+.45x+12.42

• y = -.04x + 30

• y = -.03x + 30
