In science, a line of best fit on a graph does not necessarily touch the origin. It depends on the data being plotted and the equation used for the line of best fit.
In mathematics, the answer is also dependent on the data and the equation being used for the line of best fit. The general rule is that a line of best fit can pass through the origin only if the data being plotted directly implies that it should.
in science does a line of best fit on a graph touch the origin?
is it the same for maths?
