Question

Manny created a scatter plot and drew a line of best fit, as shown.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

We are only focusing on the line of best fit.

Step 1: Find 2 coordinates

(0, 7) y-intercept

(2, 11) random

Step 2: Find slope m

m = (11 - 7)/(2 - 0)

m = 4/2

m = 2

y = 2x + b

Step 3: Rewrite linear equation

y = 2x + 7
