Y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
(5,9)...x = 5 and y = 9
now we sub and find b, the y int
9 = 3/2(5) + b
9 = 15/2 + b
9 - 15/2 = b
18/2 - 15/2 = b
3/2 = b
so ur equation is : y = 3/2x + 3/2.........(3,a)....so x = 3

y = 3/2(3) + 3/2
y = 9/2 + 3/2
y = 12/2
y = 6

so ur missing value is 6...a (or y)  = 6

Which of the following statements does not describe a characteristic of the line of best fit for a scatter plot?
stira [4]

A statement which does not describe a characteristic of the line of best fit for a scatter plot is that: A. the line of best fit should be the average of all the data points.

<h3>What is a scatter plot?</h3>

A scatter plot can be defined as a type of graph which is used for the graphical representation of the values of two variables, with the resulting points showing any association (correlation) between the data set.

<h3>What is a line of best fit?</h3>

A line of best fit is also referred to as a trend line and it can be defined as a statistical (analytical) tool that is used in conjunction with a scatter plot, in order to determine whether or not there's any correlation between a data.

<h3>The characteristics of a line of best fit.</h3>

The statements which describe a characteristic of the line of best fit for a scatter plot include the following:

  • The line should be as close to the points as possible.
  • The number of points above the line should be equal to the number of points below the line.
  • The distance between the points above the line and the line should be relatively equal to the distance between the points below the line and the line.
