Trend Lines and Data Interpretation

The video tutorial covers the concept of trend lines and predictions in eighth grade math, building on scatter plots. It explains how to plot data points, create trend lines, and use them to make predictions. The tutorial also demonstrates how to derive the equation of a trend line in slope-intercept form, emphasizing the importance of data consistency for accurate predictions.
