Answer: 96

Explanation

There are many calculators that will compute the regression line. I used GeoGebra to do so.
Let me know which calculator you are using and if you have questions on how to find the line of best fit.

You should find that the regression line is roughly:
y = 8.7x + 52.267

Then plug in x = 5
y = 8.7x + 52.267
y = 8.7*5 + 52.267
y = 95.767
y = 96
