If the line of best fit is y = 1.416x − 0.76, what is the residual value for the coordinate (10, 14)? −0.16 0.16 0.6 −0.6

Answer 1

The difference between the data point and the line is called the residual.

y = 1.416x − 0.76

y = 1.416(10) − 0.76

y = 14.16− 0.76 = 13.4

14 - 13.4 = 0.6

So 0.6 is the residual for (10,14).
