Q:

Estimate the line of the best fit using two points in the line (3,44)(5,60)

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The line Β y=8x Β  best fits using two points in the line (3,44)(5,60)Step-by-step explanation:Given:points (3,44) and (5,60)To Find:find the line passing through the pointsSolution:We know that equation of line is: y= mx+c [tex]m=\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}[/tex]Substituting the given values=>[tex]m=\frac{(60-44)}{(5-3)}[/tex]=>[tex]m=\frac{(16)}{2)}[/tex]=> m=8 Here, c=0 since there is no intercept Hence, line becomes y=mx substituting the value of m We get, y=8x
