Question

Help me answer these two questions on least square regression lines?

This is the first question.

(a) Determine the least-squares regression line.
(b) Compute the sum of the squared residuals for the least-squares regression line.

x 10 20 30 40 50
______________
y 119 95 74 76 60

This is the second question.

(a) Determine the least-squares regression line.
(b) Graph the least-squares regression line on a scatter diagram.

x 4 5 6 7 9
______________
y 8 9 10 13 18


(a) ^y = ___x + (___)

(b) Can someone also include the graph on a scatter diagram for me as well?

Thank you to the answers, it is much appreciated.
