  1. Lines of Best Fit 11-7 Pre-Algebra

  2. Quiz Page 1 Answer the questions about the inequality 5x + 10y > 30. 1.Would you use a solid or dashed boundary line? 2. Would you shade above or below the boundary line? 3. What are the intercepts of the graph? (y intercept and x intercept) dashed above (0, 3) and (6, 0)

  3. 1 y = x 5 Quiz Page 2 Find each equation of direct variation, given that y varies directly with x. 4.y is 18 when x is 3. 5.x is 60 when y is 12. 6.y is 126 when x is 18. 7. x is 4 when y is 20. y = 6x y = 7x y = 5x

  4. Learn to recognize relationships in data and find the equation of a line of best fit.

  5. When data show a correlation, you can estimate and draw a line of best fit that approximates a trend for a set of data and use it to make predictions. • To estimate the equation of a line of best fit: • calculate the means of the x-coordinates and y-coordinates: (xm, ym) • draw the line through (xm, ym) that appears to best fit the data. • estimate the coordinates of another point on the line. • find the equation of the line.

  7. Remember! The line of best fit is the line that comes closest to all the points on a scatter plot. Try to draw the line so that about the same number of points are above the line as below the line.

  8. Draw a line through 6, 4 that best represents the data. Estimate and plot the coordinates of another point on that line, such as (8, 6). Find the equation of the line. 2 3 Example Continued

  9. 6 – 4 1 m = = = 8 – 6 2 y – 4 = x – 4 y – 4 = (x – 6) 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 y = x + y = x + 3 3 The equation of a line of best fit is . Example Continued Find the slope. y – y1 = m(x – x1) Use point-slope form. Substitute.

  10. xm = = 2 ym = = 1 –1 + 0 + 2 + 6 + –3 + 8 –1 + 0 + 3 + 7 + –7 + 4 6 6 Try This Plot the data and find a line of best fit. Plot the data points and find the mean of the x- and y-coordinates. (xm, ym) = (2, 1)

  11. Try This Continued Draw a line through (2, 1) that best represents the data. Estimate and plot the coordinates of another point on that line, such as (10, 10). Find the equation of the line.

  12. 9 y – 1 = (x – 2) 8 9 9 9 5 9 5 y – 1 = x – 8 8 8 4 4 4 9 10 – 1 m = = 8 y = x – 10 – 2 The equation of a line of best fit is . y = x – Try This Continued Find the slope. y – y1 = m(x – x1) Use point-slope form. Substitute.

  13. xm = = 5 0 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 12 98 + 101 + 103 + 106 + 107 5 5 ym = = 103 Example: Sports Application Find a line of best fit for the Main Street Elementary annual softball toss. Use the equation of the line to predict the winning distance in 2006. Let 1990 represent year 0. The first point is then (0, 98), and the last point is (12, 107). (xm, ym) = (5, 103)

  14. Example Continued Draw a line through (5, 103)that best represents the data. Estimate and plot the coordinates of another point on that line, such as (10, 107). Find the equation of the line.

  15. 107 - 103 m = = 0.8 10 - 5 Example Continued Find the slope. y – y1 = m(x – x1) Use point-slope form. y – 103 = 0.8(x – 5) Substitute. y – 103 = 0.8x – 4 y = 0.8x + 99 The equation of a line of best fit is y = 0.8x + 99. Since 1990 represents year 0, 2006 represents year 16.

  16. Example Continued y = 0.8(16) + 99 Substitute. y = 12.8 + 99 y = 111.8 The equation predicts a winning distance of about 112 feet for the year 2006.

  17. xm = = 6 0 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 10 100 + 120 + 130 + 140 + 170 5 5 ym = = 132 Try This Predict the winning weight lift in 2010. Let 1990 represent year 0. The first point is then (0, 100), and the last point is (10, 170). (xm, ym) = (6, 132)

  19. 140 – 132 m = = 4 7 – 5 Try This Continued Find the slope. y – y1 = m(x – x1) Use point-slope form. y – 132 = 4(x – 5) Substitute. y – 132 = 4x – 20 y = 4x + 112 The equation of a line of best fit is y = 4x + 112. Since 1990 represents year 0, 2010 represents year 20.

  20. Try This Continued y = 4(20) + 112 Substitute. y = 192 The equation predicts a winning lift of about 192 lb for the year 2010.

  21. Lesson Quiz Plot the data to find the line of best fit. 1. 2. Possible answer: y = 2x + 1 Possible answer: y = –10x + 9
