Question

Describe the line of best fit to predict y from x for the following data. Use Desmos and round to three decimal places as needed.


x=1.806y−8.722

y=0.5x+5.1

y=−8.722x+1.806

y=5.1x+0.5

Answer 1

The line of best fit for the data given is y = 0.5x + 5.1. This line passes through the points (1.806, 6.156) and (-8.722, 0.338). It best predicts y from x for the given data set.
