Ben drew the line of best fit on the scatter plot shown.

A graph is shown with scale along x axis from 0 to 10 at increments of 1 and scale along y axis from 0 to 15 at increments of 1. The ordered pairs 0, 2 and 1, 2 and 2, 4 and 3, 3 and 4, 6 and 5, 6 and 6, 7 and 7, 8 and 8, 11 and 9, 13 and 10, 15 are shown on the graph. A straight line joins the ordered pairs 0, 1 and 10, 15.

What is the approximate equation of this line of best fit in slope-intercept form?

y = x + 7 over 5

y = 5 over 7x + 1

y = 7 over 5x + 1

y = x + 5 over 7

Respuesta :

The third choice ( y = 7/5x + 1 ).

y = mx + b

Slope is m, where mx is slope multiplied on the x, b is the y intercept, and y is the answer.

The line of best fit STARTS on 1, so we already knnow ther is going to be a "+ 1" at the end of the equation. Then, we count from the y intercept 1, all the way to a point that is touching the line of best fit. Remember, [tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex] which means you count how high to get from 1 to the data point, then count how far away horizontally to get to the data point.

Therefore, your answer would be y = 7/5x + 1.

Third choice, C.
