Suppose the line of best fit for some data points has a slope of 2.334. if the mean of the x-coordinates of the data points is 6.607, and the mean of the y-coordinates is 10.738, what is the y-intercept of the line to three decimal places?

The y-intercept of the line is −4.683.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: Slope = 2.334, and .

The general equation of line of best fit is

where, a is y-intercept and b is slope.

We need to find the value of y-intercept (value of a).

Substitute ,   and b=2.334 in the above equation.

Therefore the y-intercept of the line is −4.683.

29.5977692753

step-by-step explanation:

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
