Answer:
[tex]y = 10x[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached plot
Required
The line of the best fit using [tex](8,80)[/tex] and [tex](2,20)[/tex]
We have:
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (8,80)[/tex]
[tex](x_2,y_2) = (2,20)[/tex]
Calculate slope (m)
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{20 - 80}{2- 8}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{-60}{-6}[/tex]
[tex]m = 10[/tex]
The equation is then calculated using:
[tex]y = m(x - x_1) + y_1[/tex]
[tex]y = 10(x - 8) + 80[/tex]
Expand
[tex]y = 10x - 80 + 80[/tex]
[tex]y = 10x[/tex]
