question 6
which statement describes a line of best fit for a scatterplot?
any line drawn by hand
a horizontal line that cuts the graph in half

question 7
A line of best fit is a straight line that best represents the data on a scatter plot. It is not just any line drawn by hand (as it needs to follow a trend), not necessarily horizontal (unless data trend is horizontal), and it doesn't touch every point (as scatter - plot data has variability). Its main purpose is to represent the overall trend of the data.
