Problem 118 of 7
Compare possible lines of fit has all positive residuals and has both positive and negative residuals for data description a scatter plot of points.
Using a hint is okay. It just tells the trainer to give you a little more review.
Hidden until you reveal it.
choose better fit based on residuals or point balance.
Hidden until you reveal it.
Line comparisons must include residuals, balance, or outlier evidence.

Your answer is equivalent to the expected form.
Walkthrough
Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Check how each line balances the point cloud.
2. Compare residual sizes and patterns.
3. Choose the line with smaller, more centered, more random residuals.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Choosing the steeper line without fit evidence.
