Question

A scatter plot with a line is shown:

Which statement is most likely correct about the line?

It can be a line of best fit because it is closest to most data points.
It can be a line of best fit because it passes through all the data points.
It cannot be a line of best fit because it does not pass through all the points.
It cannot be a line of best fit because it does not pass through the first and last points.

Answer 1

For this case we observe that we have a scatter diagram.
the values of "x" and the values of "y" are shown for the scatter diagram.
We observe that we have a trend line.
The trend line is a good approximation because it passes very close to all points of the scatter diagram.
Answer:
It can be a line of best fit because it is closest to most data points.
