HIghlight Columns, Select Insert and then choose scatter Plot
b. Find the regression equation. Select layout and Then Trend Line/Formula
Interpret the slope in context. More Weight, less it costs
Does the y-intercept have contextual meaning? No, Bike cannot weigh 0lbs
c. You decide to purchase a mountain bike that weighs 32 pounds. What is the predicted price for the bike?
Insert 32 for x
