11.4 Lines and Curves of Best Fit

The table shown is comparing a person's foot length to their height in cm. Calculate a line of best fit.

• f(x) = 25.05x + 5.57
• f(x) = 5.57x + 25.05
• f(x) = -5.57x + 25.05
• f(x) = 5.57x - 25.05

Caroline weighs her new puppy every month to see how much it has grown. If age is a and weight is W, which of these is the correct equation for the line of best fit?

• W = 3.6 + 8.9

• W = 3.6a + 8.9

• a = 8.9W + 3.6

• W = 8.9a + 3.6

Given the following scatter plot, which equation best models the data?

(Hint: in this specific case, you don't really need Desmos)

• y = -8.25x + 56

• y = -8.25x² + 56x

• y = 8.25x² + 56x

• y = -8.25x³ + 56x
