Big Ideas
- The attributes of a line of best fit, such as slope and y-intercept, can help interpret relationships found in real data.
- Interpreting the context of a data set is necessary to judge if a line of best fit and its characteristics make sense.
Essential Questions
- What do the slope and y-intercept of a line of best fit represent in a real-world context?
- How can you determine if the values for the slope and y-intercept are reasonable given a specific situation?
- Why is it important to interpret the attributes of a line of best fit in context, rather than in isolation?
- How does context affect your interpretation of line of best fit parameters?
- What might make a line of best fit unreasonable for a given set of data?
