Lines of Best Fit - GCSE Physics

This video introduces lines of best fit for GCSE Physics. A line of best fit should be drawn, passing as close to or through as many data points as possible.

A straight line of best fit should be drawn with a ruler. Sometimes a curved line of best fit is more appropriate, this can be drawn freehand.

Thanks for watching,

Lewis

I love this guy's videos. Simple, straight to the point, and easy to understand. Thanks for providing them!

I did a biology assessment on Friday and we peer-marked it today. Why wasn't I told that a line of best fit can also be a curve...






You learn something new every day. Thank you for this! You saved my exams ❤️

Great work. Am from PAKISTAN
Physics paper tomorrow and now I am learning from my youtube teacher.

2 years in gcse Physics and I never learned how to draw a line of best fit, but this video did it in less than 4 minutes 😂

Have my biology gcse next week and was confused on how to draw a line of best fit, thank you so much now I’m much confident !!

[thisenidesilva]

I got this homework to draw a line of best fit. I didn't know what was the line of best fit was. But this video helped me a lot. tysm

[halamutaz]

Do I always have to get equal number of dots above and below my line of best fit? And by the way your video is really

After spending this entire semester creating fake scenarios in my head instead of listening, I'm sitting here for the 3rd day learning everything from scratch for tomorrow's Physics + Biology + Chemistry final exam 😅

[shahzarbukhlaw]

its ironic that im listening to a physics teacher WHO CAN TEACH MATHS WAYYY BETTER THAN ACTUAL MATH TEACHERS

[swiftiepharbz]

found this really helpful. thank you :)

[snazzy]

So depending on the trend is whether or not the LOBF is straight or curved?

[linaabdelshafy]

does the line have to pass through most points or between most points ???

I did a physics assessment on Friday and the teacher marked it today. Why wasn't I told that a line of best fit can also be a curve...

[nasserakasheh]

I need help please my exam is tmrww!! Does it have to go through the last point or touch it or not necessarily?

i like beens (i actually dont like beens epic plot twist with epic backround music)
