Why is the equation of the regression line for this scatter plot ?
### Simple Linear Regression Results

**Dependent Variable:**  
- Height (in.)

**Independent Variable:**  
- Shoe Size (in.)

**Regression Equation:**  
- Height (in.) = 52.293743 + 1.3679745 * Shoe Size (in.)

**Sample Size:**  
- 16

**Statistics:**  
- R (correlation coefficient) = 0.72170907
- R-sq = 0.52086398
- Estimate of error standard deviation: 2.6920127

### Graphical Representation

- **Graph Description:** A scatter plot shows the relationship between shoe size (x-axis) and height (y-axis). Each point represents an observation within the dataset. A fitted line is drawn through the data points, indicating the trend predicted by the regression model. The line slopes upwards, suggesting a positive correlation between shoe size and height. The datapoints are dispersed around this line, indicating variability in the data.
