what value point would you graph for residual at a height of 6.08 if the line of best fir is y = 105x - 439

1 answer

To find the residual at a height of 6.08, we first need to find the predicted value by plugging in x=6.08 into the equation of the line of best fit:

y = 105(6.08) - 439
y = 638.4 - 439
y = 199.4

The predicted value is 199.4.

To find the residual, we subtract the predicted value from the actual value:
Residual = actual value - predicted value
Residual = 6.08 - 199.4
Residual = -193.32

Therefore, the residual at a height of 6.08 is -193.32.
