What is the slope of the line of the best fit for this scatter plot?What is the equation of the line of the best fit?
Question
Answer:
Answer:see explanationStep-by-step explanation:The equation of a line in slope- intercept form isy = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )Calculate m using the slope formulam = (yβ - yβ ) / (xβ - xβ )with (xβ, yβ ) = (2, 7) and (xβ, yβ ) = (4, 6) β 2 points on the linem = [tex]\frac{6-7}{4-2}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 8) β c = 8y = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 8 β equation of line
