The value of x that is the data point farthest from the line of best fit is 3

<h3>How to determine the x value farthest from the line of best fit?</h3>

The given parameters are:-

x Residual

3 -5

5 -1

7 3

9 0

Take the absolute value of the residuals

x Residual

3 5

5 1

7 3

9 0

The largest absolute value is 5

Hence, the value of x that is the data point farthest from the line of best fit is 3
