Question

when x=9, which number is closest to the value of y on the line if best fit in the graph? A.)12 B.)9 C.)17 D.)1​

Answer 1

best fit will be 9, and B

Answer 2

A.) 12

Explanation:

The actual line of best fit places the value of y at about 11.95.

You can guess that the line of best fit will be between the lines of given points, tending toward below center at x=9 and above center at x=2. The answer choices 9, 17, and 1 are thus rendered untenable. The only one that makes any sense is (x, y) ≈ (9, 12).
