Answer:
a. the line that passes through the most data points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Regression analysis, is used to draw the line of‘ best fit’ through co-ordinates on a graph. The techniques used enable a mathematical equation of the straight line form y=mx+c to be deduced for a given set of co-ordinate values, the line being such that the sum of the deviations of the co-ordinate values from the line is a minimum, i.e.
The least-squares regression lines is the line of best fit
The slope is -1/4.
Assuming you know the rise over run method, at point (-8, -3) you go down once (-1) and to the right 4 (+4) to get to the next point on the line. When you convert it to a fraction, the slope is -1/4.
B is the answer to your problem
