Formula used:
The point slope form of the equation of the line with points is
, where .
Calculation:
a. The scatter diagram of the given data is
b. Consider the points and .
Here, we have
Therefore, on substituting these in the point slope form of the equation of a line, we get
Therefore,
Thus, the equation of the line joining the points and is
c. The graph of the above line is
d. Using a graphing utility, we can find the line of best fit to be
e. The line of best fit and the scatter diagram is
