Finding the Line of Best Fit Outlier x y Line of Best Fit Ignore outliers.
Finding the Line of Best Fit x y No Line of Best Fit Equal # of points above and below the line. Does not have to go through any points. Ignore outliers.
Finding the Line of Best Fit x y No Line of Best Fit Equal # of points above and below the line. Does not have to go through any points. Ignore outliers. Points attract the line like magnets to a metal rod.
Finding the Line of Best Fit x y Yes Line of Best Fit Equal # of points above and below the line. Does not have to go through any points. Ignore outliers. Points attract the line like magnets to a metal rod.
Choosing Two Points x y Yes Chosen points are too close together.
Choosing Two Points x y Yes Chosen points have sufficient spread.
