D AY 37 B EGINNER LINE OF THE BEST FIT
I NTRODUCTION In this presentation, we are interested representing data for two variables (called binomial variables) whose relation may appear to be linear. Since our interest in a linear relation, we seek to find the algebraic representation (an equation) for the data plotted.
V OCABULARY : Scatter plot It is a graph composed of points representing the relationship between data of two related variables Line of the best fit It is the line in a scatter plot that best represents the points plotted
x 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 y 12 9 12 11 14 17 16 17 9 23
Solution Upon drawing the line of the best fit, we have 25 20 15 y 10 5 0 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 x We then draw the line of the best fit and identify two points lying on it.
25 20 15 y 10 5 0 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 x
HOMEWORK Given the graph below, determine the slope-y intercept form of the equation of the line of the best fit. 30 25 20 15 y 10 5 0 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 x
