Scatter Plots Line of Best Fit

Is this line an accurate line estimate of best fit for the data?

• Yes

• No

Which of the following lines represents the line of best fit for the scatter plot?

• A

• B

• C

• D

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) = 127x + 25.05

• f(x) = -127x + 25.05

• f(x) = 127x - 25.05

Find the line of best fit

• y = 6.3x + 62

• y = 62x + 6.3

• y = 3x + 84

• y = 84x + 3

• y = x ; 20
• y = x + 2 ; 22
• y = 2 ; 2
• y = 0.5x + 2 ; 12

Imagine you're helping Zoe, Mia, and Isla find the perfect line of best fit for their scatter plot project. Which of the following lines do you think will earn them an A+?

• A

• B

• C

• D

Answer explanation

Line C is the best choice as it closely follows the trend of the data points in the scatter plot, minimizing the distance from the points to the line, which is essential for a strong line of best fit.

Which equation best represents the line of best fit shown below?

• y = 4x

• y = 6x + 4

• y = 4x + 4

Which of the following could be a possible line of best fit for the data?

• y = 3x + 0

• y = 5/6x + 490

• y = -2x + 470

• non linear
