Answer:

y=5x+4

Explanation:

You would have to look up how to do the hadn written way of figuring out this but I just used my calculator. To do this with your TI-84 or newer calculator, press "stat" and go into "edit". You will see some columns with the names "L1, L2, L3, etc." which stand for lists. put your x values in "L1" and their corresponding y values next to them in "L2". When you're done press stat again and move right to the heading "Calc". Go down to number 4 which should say "LinReg(ax+b)" next to it and press enter. now you should see "Xlist" and "Ylist" with "L1" and "L2" beside them respectively. Once that is set, go down to "Calculate" and press enter and it should give you slope intercpet form and what "a" and "b" are. You're welcome.~ ;P
