please help write a linear equation for the following table.
Gas used by differenet 8 school buses.
GAS ( GAL) 5 8 12 15 18 20 22 25
MILES 80 100 180 225 280 290 320 375
----
Run a linear regression program against the data to get:
miles = 15.0462(gallons) -3.8476
------------------------------------
gas = 0.0659miles + 0.3845
