Line of best fit also known as a linear regression or a trend line, the line of best fit is common tool for showing how two variables are related.This can be established by:
Positive correlation
all scatter plots
negative correlation
Line of best fit is used in order to demonstrate any observed trends in order to predict future outcomes regarding the data point variable in use.
Answer: x = 1 and y = 2
Given:
y = -3x + 5
5x - 4y = -3
Since we are given y, let’s sub it in the second equation.
5x - 4(-3x + 5) = -3
5x + 12x - 20 = -3
17x = 17
x = 1
After finding x, we can now find y.
5(1) - 4y = -3
-4y = -8
y = 2
Checking:
y = -3x + 5
2 = -3(1) + 5
2 = 2
5x - 4y = -3
5(1) - 4(2) = -3
-3 = -3
