Question

Explain the transformation needed to convert the following data to a linear data set.
(1, 0.98), (2, 1.39), (3, 1.71), (4, 1.98), (5, 2.22), (6, 2.43)

Answer 1

We need to plot the given coordinates first and see if a best fit line can be used to represent the data set as linear. After doing this, you would notice that the points can be represented by a straight line that passes more or less passes through the points. The equation of that line is:
y = 0.286x + 0.784
