1 answer:
The slope of the best fit for the 3 given points is 500, so the correct option is b.
<h3>How to find the slope?</h3>
Remember that for a line that passes through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) the slope is:
With the 3 given points we can find 3 slopes, and then we will need to find the average of these 3.
The 3 points are: (3, 2,750), (6, 4,200), and (9,5,750)
Then the 3 slopes are:
The average slope is:
So the correct option is b.
