Curve of Best Fit

What would the equation be that best fits this data?:
{(-15, 53.5), (-14, 28), (-3, 18), (0, 4), (6, 27), (14, 50)}

• y = .17x²+.45x+12.43

• y = .16x²+.45x+12.42

• y = -.04x + 30

• y = -.03x + 30

When using Desmos to find the curve of best fit, what do I need to enter first?

• y₁ ~ ax₁² +bx₁ + c

• the equation

• the table/chart of values

• the vertex

If this is an equation for a curve of best fit, find the output (y) when the input (x) is 13:

y = 1.2x² - 3.7x - 19

• -51.5

• 135.7

• 154.7

• 183,8

When finding the curve of best fit in Desmos, what do I do after I entered my table of coordinates?

• plot the points

• y₁ ~ ax₁ +b

• y₁ ~ ax₁² +bx₁ + c

• do a little dance

Match the table with the correct equation:

• y = -.08x² + 5.94x +28.80

• y = -1.2x² + 3.2x +3.2

• y = 0.5x +9

• y = 0.7 x² + 2.7x +8.7

Match the table with the correct equation:

• y = -.08x² + 5.94x +28.80

• y = -1.2x² + 3.2x +3.2

• y = 0.5x +9

• y = 0.7 x² + 2.7x +8.7

Using the Curve of Best fit for Predict the value of y when x = 3.

• 5

• 7

• 9

• 11

Calculate the Curve of Best Fit for this table of values:

• y = 2x² - 9x + 10

• y = 3x² + 9x - 10

• y = 3.1x² - 9.2x - 10.3

• y = 2.1x² - 8.6x + 10.1

What is a line of best fit used for?

• To make predictions

• To make the graph look pretty

• To connect the points

• To make it look like you know what you are doing
