Dennis drew the line of best fit on the scatter plot shown below: A graph is shown with scale along x axis from 0 to 10 at increments of 1 and scale along y axis from 0 to 15 at increments of 1.The ordered pairs 0, 15 and 0.5, 14 and 1, 13 and 2, 12 and 3, 11 and 4, 9 and 5, 8 and 6, 6 and 7, 4.5 and 8, 2.3 and 9, 2 and 9.8, 0.5 are shown on the graph. A straight line joins the ordered pairs 0, 15 and 10, 0. What is the approximate equation of this line of best fit in slope-intercept form

hello

y-intercept of line is 14
slope of line = (0 - 14)/(10 - 0) = -14/10 = -7/5

Required equation is y = -7/5 x + 14

Have a nice day
