The criteria of the linear regression line are defined. The Geometers
Sketchpad geometric illustration is useful to showing the sum of the squares
of the residuals. The Fran data is definitely not linear. Fitting this
data with a line will show the usefulness of the residual plot. (Taken
from the Algebra II Indicators from NCDPI.)
Technology: Geometers Sketchpad web site, The WRAL website, Graphing
calculator.
