Question

What is the slope of the line of best-fit in the scatterplot below?

9/27
3/7
7/3
27/9

Answer 1

slope = (19-12)/(6-3) = 7/3

answer
7/3

Answer 2

Option C is correct

7/3

Explanation:

Formula for slope is given by':

`\text{Slope} = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)` ....[1]

As per the statement:

The graph shows the best fit line scatter-plot.

Consider two points i.e

(3,12) and (6, 19)

Substitute these points in [1] we have;

`\text{Slope} = (19-12)/(6-3)`

⇒
`\text{Slope} = (7)/(3)`

Therefore, the slope of the line of best-fit in the scatter plot is, 7/3
