Question

A scatter plot is shown on the coordinate plane.

Which two points would a line of fit go through to best fit the data?

(1, 10) and (10, 1)
(1, 7) and (2, 6)
(3, 7) and (7, 4)
(3, 8) and (6, 6)

Answer 1

Answer: (3, 7) (7, 4)

Explanation:

The line fits better in predicting the points in the data. Also I got the right answer on the same test. The first time I did the test, I did (1,10) (10,10) which is INCORRECT. I reset the test and picked (3,7) (7,4) and it was CORRECT.

So let me be clear, (1,10) (10,1) IS THE WRONG ANSWER

(3,7) (7,4) IS THE RIGHT ANSWER
