Create a linear equation for the following data: x | y

-1, 11/3

1, 7/3

3, 1

6, -1

Please help if you know

y=-.386x + 2.879

Explanation:

For these type of calculations, you would have to use a graphing calculator to use the linear regression function. What this does is, it takes the x & y values given on the chart and it gives you the best possible linear equation for the given data set.

The exact results were:

y = -0.3862928349 + 2.869158879

step-by-step explanation:

through just a quick inspection, one can see that the graph of this cubing function starts in quadrant iii and ends in quadrant i.   when x = 0, y = 3, so the y-intercept is (0, 3).

if graphs are part of the problem statement, share them.   .
