Ok welcome to lesson 10 the topic is scatter plots and best fitting lines. Basically we will be looking for trends when we plot several points. If we identify a trend that seems to have a shape of a line we write a “best fitting line equation” to represent the trend. Of course you need to understand all the skills we have studied up to this point so never be shy to review if you need to.
Things to focus on in this lesson:
• correlation
• how to identify a best fitting line
• what a scatter plot is
Chapter 6 Lesson 10
Find The Best Fitting Line/Scatter Plots
never, never, never stop trying
