What is the equation of the line of best fit for the following data? Round the
slope and y-intercept of the line to three decimal places.
A. y = 0.894x + 0.535
B. y = -0.894x + 0.535
c. y=0.535x+0.894
D. y= -0.535x + 0.894

And the slope would be:

Now we can find the means for x and y like this:

And we can find the intercept using this:

So the line would be given by:

And the best option is:

A. y = 0.894x + 0.535

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following dataset given

x: 5,6,9,10,14

y: 4,6,9,11,12

We want to find the least-squares line appropriate for this data given by this general expresion:

Where m is the slope and b the intercept

For this case we need to calculate the slope with the following formula:

Where:

So we can find the sums like this:

With these we can find the sums:

And the slope would be:

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

And we can find the intercept using this:

So the line would be given by:

And the best option is:

A. y = 0.894x + 0.535

i would say c is the best answer, hope it's right!

good luck! =)

cutie~

first one is a: renaming a fraction. second one is c: de-c

my explanation is that these were the answers on edg : )
