Two students have examined the scatter plot shown and have created a line of best fit for the data. Student A believes that the line of best fit for the data is y=−2x+24, while Student B believes that the line of best fit for the data is y=1.5x+23. Determine which student created a better line of best fit given the data in the graph. Justify your answer using mathematics.
