Question

Is the line a good fit for the data points plotted in the scatter plot below?

The scatter plot in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane showing 8 data points equally distributed on the either sides of a line passing through (0, 1), (2, 3), ((3, 4), (4, 5), (5, 6), (6, 7) and (7, 8).
A.
Yes, because the points are relatively close to the line.

B.
Yes, because the points are relatively far from the line.

C.
No, because the points are relatively close to the line.

D.
No, because the points are relatively far from the line.

Answer 1

A. Yes, because the points are relatively close to the line.

The points lie near y = x + 1 and are roughly evenly distributed above and below it, so that line is a good fit for the trend.
