A line of best fit represents most or all of the points of a scatter plot as close as possible.The line of best fit should be between an equal or close to equal value of points above and below it.Notice that there are a total of 1616 points in the plot.This means that there should be 88 points above and below the line at most.Drawing a line of best fit would be a trial-and-error method.You can try drawing the line along these three pointsIf the line was drawn along these three points, there will be 66 points above the line and 77 points below it.Finally, connect the points with a line. -
