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

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

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

Find the line of best fit

• y = 0.20x + 26

• y = 26x + 0.20

• y = 25x + 28

• y = 28x + 25

Calculate the equation for the curve of best fit. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

• f(x) =
   2x² - 9x + 10

• f(x)=
   3x² + 9x - 10

• f(x) =
   3.1x² - 9.2x - 10.3

• f(x) =
  2.1x² - 8.6x + 10.1

Calculate the quadratic regression function for this table of values to the nearest tenth.

• f(x) =
