<span>Here is a step by step process of how to do the paper and pencil solution:1.  Prepare a scatter plot of the data on graph paper.2.  Using a strand of spaghetti, position the spaghetti so that the plotted points are as close to the strand as possible.

3.  Find two points that you think will be on the "best-fit" line.  

<span>4.  </span>We are choosing the points (9, 260) and (30, 530).  
You may choose different points. 5.  Calculate the slope of the line through your two points (rounded to three decimal places).6.  Write the equation of the line. 7.  This equation can now be used to predict information that was not plotted in the scatter plot.

Sally's house is located at (5, −1) and her school is located at (−9, 7). Her best friend Molly lives at the midpoint of Sally's
Rudiy27

Answer:

<h2>B. (-2, 3)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the coordinate of their midpoint is equivalent to X = (x₁+x₂)/2 and Y = (y₁+y₂)/2.

Given the coordinate of Sally's house and  her school to be (5, −1) and  (−9, 7) respectively, the midpoint of Sall's house and school is expressed as shown;

from the coordinates, x₁ = 5, y₁ = -1, x₂ = -9 and y₂ = 7

X = (5+(-9))/2

X = 5-9/2

X = -4/2

X = -2

Y = -1+7/2

Y = 6/2

Y = 3

The coordinate of the midpoint of Sally's house and school will be expressed as (X, Y) which is equivalent to (-2, 3).
