Question

Select the correct equation.Identify the equation that represents the line of best fit on this scatter plot.

Answer 1

From the scatter plot we can conclude that the slope of the line is positive, besides, the y-intercept is 2. We can approximate the value of the slope as follows:

`\begin{gathered} (x1,y1)=(1,2) \\ (x2,y2)=(3,4) \\ m=(4-2)/(3-1)=(2)/(2)=1 \end{gathered}`

Answer:

y = x + 2
