We are going to choose a line: y = -7 / 5x + 7.6 To verify that it is the line that best suits, we evaluate some points. For (0, 8): y = -7 / 5 (0) +7.6 y = 7.6 For (6, 0) y = -7 / 5 * (6) +7.6 y = -0.8 For (1, 6) y = -7 / 5 * (1) +7.6 y = 6.2 We observe that the results are very similar to the coordinate y of each point evaluated. Therefore, the equation is a good approximation. Answer: A linear regression equation that best fits the given points is: y = -7 / 5x + 7.6
