Question

determine which of the lines best represents the line of fit for the data.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the concept of line of fit

A line of fit should pass through the middle of the data points, balancing the number of points above and below it.

Step2: Analyze each line

• Line A: It does not seem to pass through the middle of the data points.
• Line B: It also does not pass through the middle of the data points.
• Line C: This line passes through the middle of the data points, with a reasonable balance of points above and below it.
• Line D: It is a horizontal line and does not follow the trend (if any) or pass through the middle of the data points.

Answer:

Line C best represents the line of fit for the data.
