Answer:

A line of best fit is a straight line going through a trend on a scatter plot.

Explanation:

A well drawn line of best fit is just a line going straight through the trend of dots to approximate an exact trend from a non-exact plot, so just draw a line that stays in the middle of the dots and you should do great.

Hope this helped!
