Question4. A random sample of people was asked to report the age and distance driven of their first car. A line was fit to the data to model the relationship.
Write an equation of the line of best fit in y=mx+b\mathbf{y}=\mathbf{m x + b} : Steps:
1. Identify yy-intercept (where the line crosses the y -axis) y -intercept, b=(O\mathrm{b}=(\mathrm{O}, \qquad )
2. Identify another point on the line (it has to be on the line)

2nd point ( \qquad , \qquad )
3. Find slope, m=y2y1x2x1m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} between these two points m=\mathrm{m}= \qquad ==
4. Substitute mm and bb values into y=mx+by=m x+b y=y= \qquad

Studdy Solution
The equation of the line of best fit is y=110x+16y = -\frac{1}{10}x + 16.
