When using empirical data (data and information collected by scientists in an experiment), sometimes, that data will not form a perfect line on a graph. When this happens, the line that is created using a linear regression is known as the “Line of Best Fit.” The following speed data was collected from a car moving with a constant acceleration.

Time (s) Velocity (m/s)
2 13.1
4 19.8
6 28.1
8 34.6
What is the Line of Best Fit for this data? Perform a linear Regression on this table to find the equation.

Based on your equation, what was the car’s approximate initial velocity (at time=0)?

If the car continued at the same acceleration (meaning the slope of the line does not change), how fast would it be going in 15 seconds?
