Question

Shanti wrote the predicted values for a data set using the line of best fit y = 2.55x – 3.15. She computed two of the residual values.
What are the values of a and b?
a = 0.4 and b = –0.15
a = –0.4 and b = 0.15
a = 8.6 and b = 14.25
a = –8.6 and b = –14.25

Answer 1

$a=4.1-4.5=-0.4\\b=7.2-7.05=0.15$
