Question

Estimate the line of best fit using two points on the line.

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the line=(6-8)/(9-6)=-2/3. The equation of the line is y=(-2/3)x+12

Answer 2

Answer:

B. y = -2/3x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find the slope when given two points on a line:

y2 - y1

x2 - x1

Substitute the two given points (6, 8) (9, 6):

6 - 8

9 - 6

Slope = -2/3x

We found the slope! And the answer choices already gave us one y-intercept, which is 12. The last thing we do is we form an equation with the information we solved and that was given to us.

y = slope (x) + y-intercept

y = -2/3x + 12

The answer choice that matches this equation is B.

In conclusion, the equation that best estimates the line of best fit shown above is answer choice B.
