Question 405762: Please help me solve this problem.
Consider the data below to find the equation of the best fit line:
x,y = (1,85); (2,65); (3,70); (4,90); (5,75).

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Consider the data below to find the equation of the best fit line:
x,y = (1,85); (2,65); (3,70); (4,90); (5,75).
----
It's not linear because y does not increase or
decrease in a consistent manner.
----
Try a quadratic or cubic or other regression program
and look at the r-values generated. The closer to
1 the better the fit.
