To make the mathematical model above, you first need to plot points. When did this, I chose to make five points and put four of them on each of the basketballs, that was I know the line that had to go through each of the points was accurately show if the ball was going to go in the hoop, I then added one other point that was not on one of the pictures of the basketball to show where the ball would of went when it was still continuing . Next, I typed my points into my spreadsheet, so I could then make a list of all my points. I then used the input space and typed in fitpoly, and added my list 1, as well as the highest degree of the polynomial, which was three. Finally, I hit add and the line of best fit showed up on my picture that I added to the graph earlier. And as you can see in the graph above, the basketball does make it into the hoop, making the ball will go in the hoop my prediction.
