What is the line of best fit?
AÂ line of best fit is a straight line that approximates the relationship between points. There are two methods, one involves drawing by eye and approximating, the other involves using an equation of least squares. The following videos will explain the line of best fit and equation of least squares and making predictions in QCE General Maths.
