density using point-slope method
« on: January 28, 2014, 02:30:00 PM »
My chemistry instructor has told us to graph the volume of 4 ball bearings http://s769.photobucket.com/user/whitelighter72/media/volume_zps353562ca.jpg.html?sort=6&o=0and use the point slope formula Y2-Y1/X2-X1 to find the density. He's unclear as to whether he means the average density, or density of each ball. If he means each ball, I'm unclear which slope applies to which ball. I've tried contacting him but he's hard to reach. This is due Thursday. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Do you know how to do a linear regression?
