 Objective:
Find a linear equation that
approximates a set of data points. Determine
whether there is a positive or negative
correlation in a set of real life data.
 Best-fit
line- A line that represents a
collection of data, even if you can’t draw a
line through all of the points
 Sometimes
there is no line of best fit
Best-fit line- A line that represents
a collection of data, even if you
can’t draw a line through all of
the points. Sometimes there is no
line of best fit
 Positive correlation- when the line
of best fit has a positive slope
 Negative correlation- when the
line of best fit has a negative
slope
 No correlation- when there is no
good line of best fit

1: Draw the line of best fit.
 Step
2: pick two points on the line.
 Step
3: use what we learned in 5.3 to make
an equation for the line.

Figure out your neighbor’s age in months, height
in inches, forearm length in inches and math
grade by percent. You may need a ruler.
Choose one partner to go up to the board and
record your findings.
 For example, my stats are:
 68 inches tall
 9 inch forearm length
 284 months old
 97% in freshman algebra

 Pick
one of the following to make a scatter
plot of:
 forearm vs. height
 age vs. grade
 Forearm vs. grade
 Age vs. height
 After
you are done making a scatter plot, see
if you can find a line of best fit.
 Note:
make sure you use tails plus
