How can you determine the line of best fit visually?

Back

You can determine the line of best fit visually by drawing a line that has approximately equal numbers of points above and below it.

How do you find the expected value using a line of best fit?

Back

To find the expected value, substitute the known value into the equation of the line of best fit.

Front

What is the equation of a line in slope-intercept form?

Back

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
