Two students have examined the scatter plot shown and have created a line of best fit for the data. Student A believes that the line of best fit for the data is y = -2x + 24, while Student B believes that the line of best fit for the data is y = 1.5x + 23. Determine which student created a better line of best fit given the data in the graph. Justify your answer using mathematics.

step-by-step explanation:

system of linear equation

step-by-step explanation:

as given in the data

a= 20 , b= -12

let us suppose that it is a straight line equation

now we know the formula for the system of linear equation

b= ma + c )

here m is slope of a straight line which is equal to formula

m=   (ii)

and here c is a constant

now putting the value of a and b in equation (ii)

m=

m=

putting the value of a,b and m in equation (i) gives us

-12 = + c

-12=-12 + c

adding 12 to both sides

-12 +12 = -12 +12 +c

0 =c

or c=0

as the value of the constant is zero which gives us that it is a linear equation and this order pair satisfies the system of linear equations.

hello,

as we don't know if g(x) is continue,

answer b

f(x)=2x²-8x+1=2(x²-4x+4)+1-8=2(x-2)²-7

vertex is (2,-7) ( a minimum since coefficient of x² is > 0)
