Question

The best fit line

OA) connects every point in a graph.
OB) connects the first and last points on the x-axis.
O C) minimizes the distance from the points to the line.
OD) passes through the cloud of points, missing every one

Answer 1

The best fit line "minimizes the distance from the points to the line".

Option: C

Step-by-step explanation:

A best fit line is a straight line that best showed the information on a scatter plot. It can traverse all points or none of the points or some of the data points. On scatter plot the set of points to be distributed along any axis, which may or may not look. When a linear pattern occurs, it becomes essential to plot a line of best fit that significantly reduces the distance of those points from that line to help us predict the values that are not shown on the scatter-plot.
