A fisherman has collected data about the length in inches, L, and weight in ounces, w, of fish he has caught. Use the data in the table below to construct an equation for the line of best fit to predict weight from length. Round to three decimal places.
L 15 17 18 18 19 21 22 23
w 22 36 35 40 43 52 57 69(1 point)

L=11.127+0.181w
L equals 11.127 plus 0.181 w
L=0.181+11.127w
L equals 0.181 plus 11.127 w
w=−57.907+5.342L
w equals negative 57.907 plus 5.342 L
w=5.342−57.907L
The correct equation for the line of best fit to predict weight from length using the data provided is:
w = -57.907 + 5.342L
