The equation of least squares regression line is .

The system of equations are

                                         (Equation 1)

                         (Equation 2)

Observe the graph, the 6 points

are lie on the line graph, so n = 6.

                           (Expand of )

                             (Substitute values of x - coordinates)                               (Expand of )

     (Substitute values of y - coordinates) 

                 (Expand of )

                       (Substitute values of square of x - coordinates)

   (Expand of )

(Substitute values of xi yi)

                           (Write equation 1)

                                        (Substitute )

          (Write equation 2)

                                      (Substitute )

Elimination Method: Change the system of equations are

                                        (Write equation 3)

                                      (Write equation 4)

Neither variable has a common coefficient.The coefficient  of the b - variables are 6 and 15 and their least common multiply is 30, so multiply each equation by the values 5 and 2 that will make the b - coefficient 30.

Subtract the equations to eliminate b - variable.

Write the equations in column form and add the corresponding columns.

The result value is .

Now, find the b value by substitute in either equations.

                                         (Write equation 3)

                             (Substitute )

                                            (Add 8.74 from each side)

                                                       (Divide each side by 6)

So, the equation of least squares regression line is .

The equation of least squares regression line is .
