Answer:

Third Option: It is not a good fit for the data. Most of the data points are above the line.

Explanation:

First of all, if we graph the line y = 100x, we get the following data points:

0, 0

1, 100

2, 200

3, 300

4, 400

5, 500

6, 600

7, 700

8, 800

9, 900

10, 1000

11, 1100

12, 1200

Once we graph the following data points and draw a line connecting them in the scatter plot, we can check if the line is the best fit.

Then we get the answer.

No, the line y = 100x is not the line of best fit for the given scatter plot. The line of best fit is a straight line that is the best approximation of the given set of data. It is used to study the nature of the relation between two variables. A line of best fit can be roughly determined using an eyeball method by drawing a straight line on a scatter plot so that the number of points above the line and below the line is about equal (and the line passes through as many points as possible).

Look at the picture I attached.
