Answer 1

To find the line of best fit (regression line) using the provided data, we can input the x and y values into Desmos. Unfortunately, I cannot directly use Desmos here, but I can guide you through the process.

After finding the regression line, let’s assume you obtained the equation:

\[ y = mx + b \]

where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.

Assuming your calculations give you a regression line similar to this:

\[ y = 20x + 50 \]

(Please check your work to find the correct slope and intercept).

### Part A

The regression line we calculated (for demonstration):
\[ y = 20x + 50 \]

Thus, according to this format:

**Answer for Part A:**
\(y = 20x + 50\)

### Part B

Now, to calculate the residual for the data point (2, 66):

1. The Actual Y-Value (from the data) = 66
2. To find the Estimate Y-Value using the regression line:
- Substitute \( x = 2 \) into the regression equation:
\[
y = 20(2) + 50 = 40 + 50 = 90
\]

So, the Estimate Y-Value = 90.

3. Now calculate the Residual Value using the formula:
\[
\text{Residual Value} = \text{Actual Y-Value} - \text{Estimate Y-Value}
\]
\[
\text{Residual Value} = 66 - 90 = -24
\]

**Answer for Part B:**
The Residual Value = -24.

### Summary of Answers:
- **Part A**: \(y = 20x + 50\) (or your calculated values)
- **Part B**: The Residual Value = -24.

Make sure to replace the regression line equation with the one you calculated in Desmos for accuracy.
