Andrea drew a regression line for this paired data set.

Her line passed through (1, 5) and (5, 13) .

What is the equation of Andrea's regression line?

=x+5

=2x+3

=1.75x+6.25

=0.7x−2.5

Respuesta :

The equation of the line that passes through the points

(1,5) and (5,13) is y=2x+3

Answer:

The correct option is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line passing through two points, then the equation of line is

[tex]y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]

It is given that Andrea drew a regression line for this paired data set.  Her line passed through (1, 5) and (5, 13) .

The equation of Andrea's regression line is

[tex]y-5=\frac{13-5}{5-1}(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]y-5=\frac{8}{4}(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]y-5=2(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]y-5=2x-2[/tex]

[tex]y=2x-2+5[/tex]

[tex]y=2x+3[/tex]

The equation of Andrea's regression line is y=2x+3. Therefore correct option is 2.
