I still think the TI-84 is the best way

Press STAT
Press ENTER
Put 1,5,7,9,11 in L1 and 4,11,16,19,24 in L2
Press STAT
Press the right arrow key to highlight CALC
Press 4
Press the down arrow key to hightlight Calculate
Press ENTER

You'll see values for a,b,r², and r

Round them as you're told.

The regression line is ŷ = ___x + ___

Fill the blanks with the rounded values for a and b.
