Answer 1

Line A, because it is closest to most data points

Answer 2

Hi!

The answer is Line A, because it is closest to most data points.

If you look at the graph, you can see the Line B is farther from the data points. The goal is to draw a straight line as close as possible to the data points, and Line A does that best!

Hope this helps! :)
