• 12 chapters

• 15 chapters

• 18 chapters

• 21 chapters

How do you determine the line of best fit in a scatter plot?

• By drawing a line that passes through all the points.

• By drawing a line that splits the data points as evenly as possible.

• By calculating the mean of the x and y values.

• By identifying the median value of the dataset.
