Question 741599: Pedro decides to draw a line through the points (1,2) and (4,7). Create an equation for Pedro's line of best fit that models y in terms of x Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Pedro decides to draw a line through the points (1,2) and (4,7). Create an equation for
---------------
slope = (7-2)/(4-1) = 5/3
---------------
Form: y = mx + b
Solve for "b":
2 = (5/3)1 + b
----
b = 1/3
------------------
Equation:
y = (5/3)x + (1/3)
