Answer to Problem 8STP

  d=1.13t+12

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  Glencoe Physics: Principles and Problems, Student Edition, Chapter 1, Problem 8STP , additional homework tip  1

Formula used:

Linear line equation

  y=mx+b

Where,

  m is the slope

  b is the y-intercept

Calculation:

Best fit line is that straight line which represents the data of the scatter plot. This line may pass through some of the points, all the points and none of the point.

The best fit line for the given graph can be a straight line.

  Glencoe Physics: Principles and Problems, Student Edition, Chapter 1, Problem 8STP , additional homework tip  2

The slope of the line can be calculated as:

  m=(y2y1)(x2x1)m=(612)(5.30)m=1.13m/s

Now put, y=d,m=1.13,x=t,b=12 in the equation of line.

  d=1.13t+12

Conclusion:

  d=1.13t+12 is the required equation of the best fit line.
