DRAWING A LINE OF BEST FIT (also known as a TREND LINE): 5:12 - This video reviews the process of using a scatterplot to find a line of best fit (or sometimes called a "trend line") and then use that line to make a prediction. The prediction in this example is an illustration of INTERPOLATION.

USING A TREND LINE EQUATION TO MAKE A PREDICTION: 6:51 -- This video review the process of making a scatterplot, drawing a line of best fit (trend line), creating an equation to represent that trend line (using point-slope form of a line), and then using that equation to make a prediction. The prediction in this example is an illustration of EXTRAPOLATION.
