A scatter plot has been created with a line of best fit that matches the equation y = 11x + 340. Using this line of best fit, determine the output value when the input is 10. Do you think this matches a point on the scatterplot? Why or why not?

Respuesta :

For the fist part you simply substitute 10 in for x to the equation to get the corresponding y value

y = 11(10) + 340
y = 110 + 340
y = 450

For the second part of that question, do you think this matches a point on the scatterplot.....more than likely this is a NO, as generally speaking a line of best fit doesn't pass through many of the data points that it uses to create the equation for the line, so I'd say probably not.

Hope this helps.

I got 450 with the input of the equation I don't have the proper calculator to do the scatterplot
