Question

miguel is calculating the slope of a line of best - fit in the scatterplot shown.which pair of points would be best for miguel to use?r and us and tp and wq and v

Explanation:

To calculate the slope of the line of best - fit, we should choose two points that are as far apart as possible. This helps to minimize the error due to individual data point fluctuations. Among the given options, points \(P\) and \(W\) are the farthest apart. Choosing points that are close together (like \(S\) and \(T\) or \(Q\) and \(V\)) can lead to a less representative slope calculation because small errors in reading the coordinates of the points will have a relatively larger impact on the slope value. Points \(R\) and \(U\) are also not as far apart as \(P\) and \(W\).

Answer:

P and W
