2) Angel is using his calculator to find the equation of a line of best fit. This is what he got:
a = 5.43333 b = 6.15777
He’s supposed to round all numbers to the nearest tenth. What is the equation for the line of best fit?
3) The table below shows the number of grams of carbohydrates, x,
and the number of calories, y, of six different foods. State the
linear regression (line of best fit) equation that best models this
data. Round all numbers to the nearest tenth.
4) The table below shows the height in feet, h(t), of a hot-air balloon and the number of minutes, t, the
