Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to assume that you are doing this on your calculator using the stat button as opposed to having to find it by hand which is so extremely long and drawn out, you'd be dead by the time we found the equation...

The equation of the line of best fit is

y = 1.383x - 1.526

I would explain to you how to do that, but it's a very involved process on your calculator. Find out how to do it and it's the easiest thing in the world!!!

The required equation of the line is y = 0.667x + 2.334


From the table given equation of the line is determined.
x = 4  7  10  12  13
y = 5  7  12  14  18

What is a line?

A line is a curve showing the shortest distance between 2 points.

Standard equation of line, y =mx + c
The slope of equation m = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] and c is y intercept.
                                m  = 7-5/7-4
                                m = 2/3
Now put m in the standard equation
y = 2x/3 + c  - - - - -(1)
to find the value of c we will put a point  (7, 7) in the equation.

7 = 7*2/3 + c
c = 7 - 14/3
c = (21-14)/3
c = 7/3
Put c in equation 1
y = 2x/3 + 7/3
y = 0.667 x +2.334

Thus, The required equation of the line is y = 0.667 x +2.334
