Which line is the best model for the data in the scatter plot?
2 answers:
Answer:
scatter plot-4 represents the best model for the scatter plot.
Step-by-step explanation:
A line of best fit (or "trend" line) is a straight line that best represents the data on a scatter plot.
This line may pass through some of the points, none of the points, or all of the points.
Clearly from the given graph we could see that the scatter plot 4 have equal number of points above and below the line.
Hence, scatter plot 4 is the best model for the scatter plot.

Given parameters:
Area of the rectangular garden = 359ft²
Unknown:
length and width of the garden = ?
To find the length and breadth of the garden, we need to define and know that the area of a rectangle is.
Area of a rectangle = Length x Breadth
From the problem statement;
Let w = width of the rectangular garden
L = length of the garden;
Now,
length of a rectangular garden is 5 feet less than 4 times its width
L = 4w - 5
Now let us substitute this into the equation;
Area = L x w
359 = (4w - 5)w
4w² - 5w - 359
Using:
w = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a
where b = -5 , a = 4 and c = -359
w = -(-5) ± √-5² - 4(4)(-359) / 2(4)
w = 5 ± √25 + 5744 / 8
w = 5 ± 75.9 / 8
w =
w = 10.1ft
The other solution is not possible it will be a negative value. Width value cannot be negative.
So L = 4w - 5 = 4(10.1) - 5 = 35.5ft
The length and breadth of the rectangular are 35.5ft and 10.1ft respectively.
