A line of best fit, also known as a trend line, represents the general direction of data points on a scatter plot. It is used to illustrate the relationship between two variables, indicating whether they have a positive, negative, or no correlation. The line minimizes the distance between itself and all the data points, helping to predict values and identify trends within the dataset. Overall, it provides a visual summary of the data's behavior.
What else can I help you with?
What does a best-fit line on a graph show us?
a line of best fit emphasizes the overall trend shown by all the data taken as a whole :DDD
A line on a scatter plot that helps show the correlation between data sets more clearly?
A line of best fit or a trend line.
Is the best fit line the same as the line of best fit?
Yes but phrased differently
What is a line that is not a line but is almost a line?
A line of best-fit.
Why does best fit line does not touch all data points?
Because the "best fit" line is usually required to be a straight line, but the data points are not all on one straight line. (If they were, then the best-fit line would be a real no-brainer.)

Why is it preferable to draw a line of best fit rather than to connect the dots?
show a trend

Yes but phrased differently
What is a line of best fit on a line graph?
The line that minimized the sum of the squares of the diffences of each point from the line is the line of best fit.
What is a line that is not a line but is almost a line?
A line of best-fit.

What is the difference between a trend line and a line of best fit and how are they useful in analyzing data?
What is the difference between a trend line and a line of best fit
Does the line of best fit have to start from the origin?
The line of best fit does not have to pass through the 0 (origin) and rarely does
What is the process of finding line of best fit called?
Finding the line of best fit is called linear regression.
What is a best-fit-line?
A best-fit line is the straight line which most accurately represents a set of data/points. It is defined as the line that is the smallest average distance from the data/points. Refer to the related links for an illustration of a best fit line.
How do you find a line of best fit from scatter plot?
The line of best fit is simply the line that shows the general direction of the graph. The trick is to make the line go through as many points on the graph as possible. Some scatter plots have no line of best fit.
