Question

Describe the procedure for interpolating data from a scatterplot, assuming the *x* and *y* values of the data set are highly correlated.

Accepted Answer

Determine the line of best fit from the scatterplot values. First calculate the slope of the line (rise over run). Then use this slope and another known *xy*-pair to predict, or interpolate an unknown value.
