For the table below, create a scatter plot of the data in Desmos. Use the scatter plot to find an equation of the trend line in Desmos. Round to the nearest tenth
. Age 2 3 4 6 8
Height (In) 31 36.5 40 44.5 49
I'm sorry, but as an AI text-based model, I am unable to directly create or visualize images or access external websites like Desmos. However, I can help you understand how to create a scatter plot and find the equation of a trend line using the given data.
To create a scatter plot and find the equation of a trend line using the data you provided, you can follow these steps manually using Desmos:
1. Open Desmos on your web browser.
2. In the input bar, type "age" and press the Enter key.
3. In the same input bar, type "[2, 3, 4, 6, 8]" (without quotes) and press the Enter key. This will input the values for the age variable.
4. Move to the next line of the input bar and type "height" and press the Enter key.
5. In the same input bar, type "[31, 36.5, 40, 44.5, 49]" (without quotes) and press the Enter key. This will input the values for the height variable.
6. In the input bar, type "plot" and press the Enter key.
7. In the plot options, select "Scatter plot" if it's not already selected.
8. In the parentheses of the scatter plot function, type "(age, height)" and press the Enter key. This will create a scatter plot of the given data.
9. To find the equation of the trend line, click on the "+ Add Item" button on the toolbar.
10. In the drop-down menu, select "Line".
11. After selecting the line option, you can manually drag and position the line to best fit the scatter plot points.
12. Once the line is in a proper position, you can find the equation of the line displayed near the line itself. Round the equation to the nearest tenth.
Please note that these steps assume basic knowledge of using the Desmos graphing calculator. If you need further assistance or have any other questions, feel free to ask!
