Treat the data as ordered pairs. From the table, write the goals as x - coordinate and the assists as y - coordinate.
Plot the ordered pairs as points in a coordinate plane.
The scatter plot shows a positive correlation between x and y. This means that as the x - values increased, the y - value tended to increase, so you can fit a line to the data.
Draw a line that appears to fit the points in the scatter plot closely.
Write an equation using any two points on the line.
Substitute the values of in the slope formula .
.
To write the line equation, we can use either of the two given points.
Consider the point .
Substitute in point-slope form equation or .
Apply distributive property: .
Add 29 to each side.
The line equation is .
Substitute the value of in the above equation.
Subtract 11.5 from each side.
Divide each side by 1.25.
Cancel common terms.
.
The missing value is 7, the equation is and its graph is
