let's try a linear regression over the given data points:
---
the given x-values followed by the given y-values:
---
-1,0,2,5,-4,-2,2,8
---
copy and paste the above list of data points in to this solver:

answer:
the relationship is indeed linear. the linear relation is defined by:
y-intercept = -2
slope = 2
slope-intercept form of the linear equation:
y = 2x - 2
