Question

which scatter plot does not show an appropriate line of best fit?

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the line of best fit concept

The line of best fit should pass through the middle of the data points, representing the general trend of the data.

Step2: Analyze each scatter - plot

• In option A: The line is a reasonable representation of the negative trend of the data points.
• In option B: The line is a reasonable representation of the positive trend of the data points.
