How do you find the equation for the line of best fit?

There are many ways, but probably you aren't in a statistics class, but in an algebra class. Step 1 plot all the data points on a coordinate plane graph (x-y graph) Step 2 estimate a line 'close' to points. Step 3 use 2 points ON THE LINE (these do not need to be data points) Step 4 find slope of line using points from step 3 Step 5 use point-slope formula to write the equation.
