Question

Hey sorry, I just need an answer and an explanation of how you did your work. I'm having trouble on this topic but there aren't many math videos that can help me at the moment. Please be as detailed as possible with your explanation so I can get a sense of how you came to your conclusion, thank you.

Answer 1

After using the linear regression we would have the value for a and b. a and b represent the slope (a) of a line and the y-intercept (b).

To find the values of the equation we must round the results of the linear regression to the nearest integer

a would be equal to -2 as the number -1.96341463 is nearer to -2 than -1.

b would be equal to 19 as the number 19.09756098 is nearer to 19 than 20.

The final equation would be:

y= -2x + 19
