The green dots at the left represent the Minutes Played vs. Total Points Scored data for several basketball
players from the El Toro basketball team (this data is
slightly modified from problem 2-28 in lesson 2.1.4 of
the CPM Statistics book.)
Move the orange points to create a line that you feel
does a good job predicting the total points based on
minutes played.
Your equation is û = 0.13 + 0.87x, where ŷ is the
predicted number of points while x is the minutes
played.

Have you ever been in the middle of telling a story and had to use hand gestures or even a drawing to make your point? in algebra, if we want to illustrate or visualize a key feature of a function, sometimes we have to write the function in a different form—such as a table, graph, or equation—to determine the specific key feature we’re looking for. think about interactions with others and situations you’ve come across in your own life. how have you had to adjust or change the way you represented something based on either the concept you were trying to describe or the person you were interacting with? explain how the complexity or layout of the concept required you to change your style or presentation, or how the person’s unique learning style affected the way you presented the information.
