(i) Select suitable scales for the x-axis and the y-axis, make sure the points plotted accurately and the graph produced is large enough on the graph paper,
(ii) Mark the points correctly,
(iii) Use a long and transparent ruler to draw the line of best fit.

Step 3 : Draw the Line of Best Fit
* Note
-the line passes through four points
-one point is above the line
-one point is below the line
