3.2 Fitting Lines
The solid line is the better fit for the data since it goes through the middle of the data and follows the negative trend of the data with very few points a far distance from the line of best fit
Practice this chapterThe solid line is the better fit for the data since it goes through the middle of the data and follows the negative trend of the data with very few points a far distance from the line of best fit The solid line is the better fit for the data since it goes through the middle of the data with approximately equal numbers of data points on either side of the line
The dashed line is the better fit for the data since it goes through the middle of the data with a slope that follows the trend of the data. The solid line has a lot of points above the line to start and a lot of points below the line at the end
solid line — the better fit for the data since it goes through the middle of the data and follows the negative trend of the data with very few points a far distance from the line of b. dashed line — the better fit for the data since it goes through the middle of the data with a slope that follows the trend of the data.
Be able to write linear models by hand from tables and graphs; describe the rate of change and y -intercept for a linear model in everyday language; use technology to find the line of best fit.
Worked example
What does “solid line” mean in 3.2 Fitting Lines?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for solid line.
- 2The book says: the better fit for the data since it goes through the middle of the data and follows the negative trend of the data with very few points a far distance from the line of b.
- 3Do not use the meaning of dashed line. That term means the better fit for the data since it goes through the middle of the data with a slope that follows the trend of the data.
Result: the better fit for the data since it goes through the middle of the data and follows the negative trend of the data with very few points a far distance from the line of b
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for solid line.
Do not swap solid line and dashed line. solid line means the better fit for the data since it goes through the middle of the data and follows the negative trend of the data with very few points a far distance from the line of b. dashed line means the better fit for the data since it goes through the middle of the data with a slope that follows the trend of the data.
