Thread: Saxon algebra 2 (experimental data)

Can anyone help me on this topic? I understand it farely well, but I'm not sure how to draw the triangle to find the slope. Can anyone help?

Thanks
Lizzie

On the chart you have all the exoerimental data and you have to pick to points on the slanted line to find the slope. I can't seem to find the right answer. I'll get close, but not quite. It said that my answers may vary slightly, but is there a more persisce was of picking points on the line instead of just guessing?

We don't have your book, so still don't realy know what your question is.
You need to either type it in, or scan the page and attach the image to
your post, or insert a link to where we can find the image.

The only thing I can think of what you are asking is this is the "method of least squares". But I need to see the actual problem not what type.
