I can’t see the scatterplot you mention. Please upload the image or give the coordinates of the plotted points (P, Q, R, S, T) and I’ll identify which pair the best-fit line passes through.
If you want to check it yourself, here are two quick ways:
1) Visual/graphical method
- Draw an “eye-fit” line that goes through the middle of the cloud of points so roughly equal numbers of points lie above and below the line.
- See which two labeled points lie exactly on that eye-fit line.
2) Exact method (if you have coordinates)
- Compute x̄ and ȳ (the means).
- Compute slope m = Σ(xi − x̄)(yi − ȳ) / Σ(xi − x̄)² and intercept b = ȳ − m x̄.
- For each labeled point (x, y), check whether y = m x + b (within rounding). The pair of points that exactly satisfy the line equation are the ones the line passes through.
Send the plot or coordinates and I’ll do the calculation and tell you which pair is correct.
