Question

8 multiple choice 1 point which of the following is closest to the slope of the line of best fit shown below?

Explanation:

Step1: Select two points on the line

Choose two points on the line of best - fit. Let's take approximately $(0,0)$ and $(50, 18)$ (estimated from the graph).

Step2: Calculate the slope

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Substitute $x_1 = 0,y_1 = 0,x_2=50,y_2 = 18$ into the formula. So $m=\frac{18 - 0}{50 - 0}=\frac{18}{50}=0.36$.

Answer:

A. 0.36
