A scatter plot is shown:
A graph shows numbers from 0 to 10 on the x axis at increments of 1 and the numbers 0 to 15 on the y axis at increments of 1. The ordered pairs 0, 15 and 1, 13 and 2, 10 and 3, 10 and 4, 8 and 5, 7 and 6, 7 and 7, 6 and 8, 4 and 9, 2 and 10, 0 are shown on the graph.
Which graph best represents the line of best fit for this scatter plot? (5 points)
The best graph representing the line of best fit for this scatter plot would be a decreasing line starting from the point (0, 15) and passing through the points (5, 7) and (10, 0).
This graph would capture the general trend of the data points, which show a decrease in y values as x values increase. The line of best fit should capture this overall trend while minimizing the distance between the line and the data points.
