Find the Line of Best Fit

Find the line of best fit

• y = 0.20x + 26

• y = 26x + 0.20

• y = 25x + 28

• y = 28x + 25

The scatter plot shows the relationship between the number of chapters and the total number of pages for several books.  Use the trend line to predict how many chapters would be in a book with 180 pages. 

• 12 chapters

• 15 chapters

• 18 chapters

• 21 chapters

The equation of the trend line
is  y= 1/2x +1
