Question

A scatter plot is shown on the coordinate plane.

Which two points would a line of fit go through to best fit the data?

(1, 10) and (10, 1)
(1, 7) and (2, 6)
(3, 7) and (7, 4)
(3, 8) and (6, 6)

Answer 1

(c) (3, 7) and (7, 4)

Explanation:

You want to know which two points lie closest to the line of best fit through the scatter plot shown.

Line of best fit

The attachment shows the data plotted together with a line of best fit. The data points closest to the line are (3, 7) and (7, 4).

The line of best fit would go through the points (3, 7), and (7, 4), choice C.
