Question

in the scatter - plot, a line of best fit for the data is shown. at (x = 70), which of the following is closest to the (y) - value predicted by this line of best fit? (a) 7 (b) 6 (c) 4

Explanation:

Step1: Locate x = 70 on x - axis

Find the point x = 70 on the horizontal axis of the scatter - plot.

Step2: Read corresponding y - value

Move vertically from x = 70 until intersecting the line of best fit, then move horizontally to read the y - value on the vertical axis. The y - value at x = 70 on the line of best fit is closest to 6.

Answer:

B. 6
