Line of best fit homework Name _________________________________________ Directions: Complete each of the following tasks on this paper, either

r, either below on the graph or on the back of the paper. (1) Make a scatter plot of the data below. Be sure to scale your axes to fit the data. (2) Draw a line of best fit with a ruler (be sure to extend through the y-axis) (3) Find the equation of your line using y-intercept and slope (4) Use your equation to predict the stopping distance at 90 mi/h. (5) The actual stopping distance at 90 mi/h is close to 584 ft. Why do you think this distance is not close to your prediction? (6) Suppose you plot (90, 584) on your scatter plot. What effect would it have on the slope and the y-intercept of the line of best fit you found in (3) above? Car Stopping Distance Speed (mi/h) 10 15 290 25 30 35 40 45 Stopping 27 44 63 85 109 136 164 196 distance (ft)
