y=5.55x−0.25
y is equal to 5 point 5 5 x minus 0 point 2 5

y=5.55x+0.25
y is equal to 5 point 5 5 x plus 0 point 2 5

y=0.25x−5.55
y is equal to 0 point 2 5 x minus 5 point 5 5

y=0.25x+5.55

Answer 1

y = 0.25x + 5.55

(Least-squares slope = 0.25, intercept ≈ 5.55 rounded to the nearest hundredth.)
