scatter plot with points at 1 comma 9, 2 comma 7, 3 comma 5, 3 comma 9, 4 comma 3, 5 comma 7, 6 comma 5, and 9 comma 5

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

Answer:

(2,7) and (6,5)

Explanation:

The line of best fit would be approximately:

y = -.4x + 8

(1,9)

9 = -.4(1) + 8

9 = 7.6

(9,5)

y = -.4x + 8

5 = -.4(9) + 8

5 = 4.4

(5,7)

y = -.4x + 8

7 = -.4(5) + 8

7 = 6

(2,7)

y = -.4x + 8

7 = -.4(2) + 8

7 = 7.2

(4,3)

y = -.4x + 8

3 = -.4(4) + 8

3 = 6.4

(6,5)

y = -.4x + 8

5 = -.4(6) + 8

5 = 5.6
