Table

Curve of best fit (Linear) Equation=-.28x+851

Curve of best fit (Non- linear) Equation=.002x^2-3.7x+1860

Summary What is the relationship between the two variables? And which curve is the best fit linear or non-linear?: The curve for best fit would be the linear graph because the line fits more evenly with the scatter plot dots
