Answer 1

Answer:

3.471 + 7.2516 x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

(1,3) (2,0) (5,-8) (9, -25) .

X:

1

2

5

9

Y:

3

0

-8

-25

The line of best fit for the data given can be obtained using an online regression calculator :

The equation of best fit for the data is thus;

Best fit equation; y = -3.471 + 7.2516x

Intercept = - 3.471 ;

Slope = 7.2516
