Question

here is the plan for the last neighborhood.
when the line is close to the points and the check mark appears on the gauge, which statements are true?
select all that apply.
there are about the same number of points above the line as below the line.
the line passes through most of the points.
the line follows the general pattern of the points.
the line is horizontal.

Explanation:

1. Analyze "There are about the same number of points above the line as below the line": By visually inspecting the scatter plot and the line, we can see that the distribution of points above and below the line is relatively balanced. So this statement is true.
2. Analyze "The line passes through most of the points": Looking at the graph, the line does not pass through most of the points; it is a trend line that approximates the pattern. So this statement is false.
3. Analyze "The line follows the general pattern of the points": The line is a trend line (like a line of best fit) that captures the overall downward trend of the scatter plot points. So this statement is true.
4. Analyze "The line is horizontal": The line has a negative slope (it is decreasing from left to right), so it is not horizontal. This statement is false.

Answer:

• There are about the same number of points above the line as below the line.
• The line follows the general pattern of the points.
