Which of the following would be the most accurate equation for the scatter plot?

• y = -2x - 7

• y = -x + 7

• y = 3x + 7

• y = 25x + 7

Select the statement that best describes the line.

• The line is the line of best fit.

• The line is NOT a line of best fit because it does not pass through two points.

• The line is NOT a line of best fit because it does not go through the middle of the data set.

• The line is NOT a line of best fit because it does not go through the origin.
