The line of best fit for a scatter plot is shown:

A scatter plot is shown. Data points are located at 0 and 8, 2 and 8, 4 and 5, 6 and 3, 6 and 5, 6 and 7, 9 and 4, 10 and 2. A line of best fit passes through the y-axis at 8 and continues downward passing through the point 6 and 5.

What is the equation of this line of best fit in slope-intercept form?

y = negative one halfx + 8
y = −2x + 8
y = −8x + one half
y = −8x + 2

Answer:

y = -1/2 x + 8   (your first choice)

Explanation:

Looking at the line, its slope is -1/2. (Just look at the line segment between x=0 and x=2, the function value goes down by one, from 8 to 7)

Another close look at the line, y-intercept is 8.

A general line equation is y = slope * x + yintercept. So in this case: y=-1/2*x +8

The equation which best in slope-intercept form is y= -1/2 x + 8.

What is the equation?

The equation is the statement of equality between two aspects lying of variables and/or numbers. Equations are inquiries, and the development of mathematics has been controlled by attempts to find answers to those questions in a regular way.

By looking up at the line given in the question, it gives the slope [tex]-\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] Because the line segment between x=(0 and 2), the value of the function goes down by 1, means goes down from 8 to 7, and the y-intercept is 8.

Therefore, The general line equation is:

[tex]y= \text{Slope}\times x+ y \text{intercept}[/tex]

[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+8[/tex]
