Answer 1

Answer:

y = 1.5x + 3.2009  

Step-by-step explanation:

I plotted your points and drew a linear regression line.

Its equation is

y = 1.5x + 3.2009

The regression line ignores the fact that the points fall along a smooth curve.

A parabolic regression line fits the data much better.

The equation for that line is

y = - 0.1647x² + 4.1357x - 5.6946

It is the equation for a vertical parabola opening downward.
