we are using a tool that determines the best fit line of the data points given. best fit line is projected to have the minimum standard deviation from the points. 
Using the tool, the results are

Best-fit values 
Slope-0.002667 ± 0.0006013
Y-intercept6.475 ± 1.112
X-intercept2428
1/Slope-375.0

Translating these results, 

y = -0.00266 x + 6.475
