Maleia is tracking her running training program. The table gives her 5K run time at the end of each month.


Month Time (minutes)
1 44
2 40
3 38
4 36
5 34
6 33


What is the equation for the line of best fit where x represents the month and y represents the time?
y = 2.14x + 33
y = 2.14x + 45
y = −2.14x + 33
y = −2.14x + 45

The equation for the line of best fit where x represents the month and y represents the time is: y = −2.14x + 45.

How to find a line of best fit for the data?

In order to determine a linear equation of the line of best fit (trend line) that models the data points contained in the table, we would have to use a scatter plot.

In this scenario, the number of months would be plotted on the x-axis of the scatter plot while the time (minutes) would be plotted on the y-axis of the scatter plot.

On the Excel worksheet, you should right click on any data point on the scatter plot, select format trend line, and then tick the box to display an equation for the trend line on the scatter plot.

From the scatter plot (see attachment) which models the relationship between the number of months and time in the table, a linear equation of the line of best fit is given by:

y = -2.14x + 45
