Bell Ringer
Find each slope:
1. (5, –1), (0, –3)
2. (8, 5), (–8, 7)
1.4 Objectives
Fit scatter plot data using linear models
with and without technology.
Use linear models to make predictions.
A line of best fit may also
be referred to as a trend line.

Step 1 Plot the data points.
Step 2 Identify the correlation.
Notice that the data set is
positively correlated–as time
increases, more points are
scored

Example 3: Anthropology Application
Anthropologists can use the femur, or thighbone, to
estimate the height of a human being. The table shows
the results of a randomly selected sample.

b. Find the correlation coefficient r and the line of
best fit. Interpret the slope of the line of best fit in
the context of the problem.
Enter the data into lists L1
and L2 on a graphing
calculator. Use the linear
regression feature by
pressing STAT, choosing
CALC, and selecting
4:LinReg. The equation of
the line of best fit is
h ≈ 2.91l + 54.04.

Example 3 Continued
c. A man’s femur is 41 cm long. Predict the
man’s height.
The equation of the line of best fit is
h ≈ 2.91l + 54.04. Use the equation to predict the
man’s height.
For a 41-cm-long femur,
h ≈ 2.91(41) + 54.04 Substitute 41 for l.
h ≈ 173.35
The height of a man with a 41-cm-long femur
would be about 173 cm.

and selecting 4:LinReg. The
equation of the line of best fit is
y ≈ –0.15x + 47.5.

c. Predict the gas mileage for a 210-horsepower
engine.
The equation of the line of best fit is
y ≈ –0.15x + 47.5. Use the equation to predict
the gas mileage. For a 210-horsepower engine,
y ≈ –0.15(210) + 47.50.
Substitute 210 for x.
y ≈ 16
The mileage for a 210-horsepower engine would be
about 16.0 mi/gal.
