What else can I help you with?
Is the best fit line the same as the line of best fit?
Yes but phrased differently
What is the use of best - fit line in math for a job?
A teacher teaches it to kids.
What is a line of best fit on a line graph?
The line that minimized the sum of the squares of the diffences of each point from the line is the line of best fit.
In a data plot most of the data points will lie below the line of best fit?
If most of them lie below the line, then that line isn't the best fit. The exact layout depends on what definition you use for "best fit", but any definition will produce a line that has roughly the same number of data points on each side of it.
What is a line that is not a line but is almost a line?
A line of best-fit.
Why does best fit line does not touch all data points?
Because the "best fit" line is usually required to be a straight line, but the data points are not all on one straight line. (If they were, then the best-fit line would be a real no-brainer.)
How can you use a scatter plot to find an equation of a trend line?
By finding the line of best fit and using the straight line equation formula.
What is the difference between a trend line and a line of best fit and how are they useful in analyzing data?
What is the difference between a trend line and a line of best fit
Does the line of best fit have to start from the origin?
The line of best fit does not have to pass through the 0 (origin) and rarely does
What is the process of finding line of best fit called?
Finding the line of best fit is called linear regression.
What is a best-fit-line?
A best-fit line is the straight line which most accurately represents a set of data/points. It is defined as the line that is the smallest average distance from the data/points. Refer to the related links for an illustration of a best fit line.
How do you find a line of best fit from scatter plot?
The line of best fit is simply the line that shows the general direction of the graph. The trick is to make the line go through as many points on the graph as possible. Some scatter plots have no line of best fit.
