Question 1190695: Thank you for helping me!
I need to make a scatter plot of the data and find the equation of the best fitting line, and approximate the value of y for x = 3.
x= -1, 0, 1 , 2, 4
y = 3,3,1,0,-3
I plotted the graph but I don't know how to do the rest, thank you very much.

A scatter plot (aka scatter chart, scatter graph) uses dots to represent values for two different numeric variables.
The position of each dot on the horizontal and vertical axis indicates values for an individual data point.
Scatter plots are used to observe relationships between variables.

So, as I understand this definition, a scatter plot is simply a set of dots, like a " cloud " of dots, literally.

You do not give details of your assignment, so it is not totally clear what is its goal,
and a prediction can be made in many different ways.
You may ask GOOGLE about "the best fitted curve online".
It will give you several web-sites, where you can find numerous online calculators for this purpose,
even with graphical support,
for example, these websites
https://mycurvefit.com/
https://planetcalc.com/8735/
You may play with them and select, which one is best fitted to you.
Probably, you can find similar tools in your pocket calculator.
