Answer:So I don’t know the other 5 points because you didn’t give the data about the age and number of US states named in 60 seconds, but using the 5coordinate points you gave, I was able to make this line of best fit.

So basically the units are counting up by 5.

The x axis is age in years and y axis is the number of US states named in 60 seconds.

Since you didn’t give me the data to make the other 5 points, I can’t really answer the last question, but from the graph that I did make, there are no points that would be considered outliers, and there are no clusters in sight.

(BTW THIS IS IMPORTANT!! - when you use the data to add the other 5 points, there might be an outlier or more then one outlier. And there might be a cluster. Just look at it after you graph the last 5 and change the answer I gave you if there is an outlier or cluster)
