A: the slope of the line of best fit would increase because the point lies below the original line of best fit
B: the slope of the line of best fit would decrease because the point lies above the original line of best fit
C: the slope of the line of best fit would increase because the point lies above the original line of best fit
D: the slope of the line of best fit would decrease because the point lies below the original line of best fit
