 - $(ave_x, ave_y)$ is on the line
 - Visually looks like a line of best fit
+- The SD line is not used for prediction because it overpredicts
 - Someone who is *exactly on* the SD line is the same number of SDs above or below the average in the y axis as they are in the x axis.
 Given a scatter diagram where the average of each set lies on the point $(75, 70)$, with a $\sigma_x$ of 10 and a $\sigma_y$ of 12, you can graph the SD line by going up $\sigma_y$ and right $\sigma_x$, then connecting that point (in this example, $(85, 82)$) with the mean points.
