What is the equation of the line of best fit?

• y = 3/2x

• y = 30x

• y = 30x + 300

• y = 3/2x + 300

What is the equation of the line of best fit?

• y = -25x + 170

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
