What are some limitations in using a line of best fit drawn on a scatter plot to make predictions?

A line of best fit approximates the overall pattern in the plotted data; it does not necessarily pass through every point. Different reasonable lines may fit the same scatter plot, so predictions based on the line are estimates rather than exact values. Therefore, the correct choice is “It is possible to draw different lines to approximate the same data. The line of best fit is only an estimate.”
