Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As you can observe in the image attached, the line that best fits passes through point B and C. That means we can use those point to find the slope of such line.
Where and
So, the slope of the line that best fits is -11, approximately.
Now, we use the point-slope formula to find the equation.
Therefore, the line that best fits is approximately.
Remember, when we estimate a line for some data on a scatterplot, we are calculating an approximation, that's why we also said "approximately", because the line is an approximation where the majority of point meet.
