A person travels by car.  They record their miles driven in a data table.  Calculate the linear regression equation of this data.

• y = 61.93x - 1.79

• y = -1.79x + 61.93

• y = 0.016x + 0.03

• y = 0.03x + 0.016

The table shown is comparing a person's foot length to their height in cm. Calculate a line of best fit.

• f(x) = 25.05x + 5.57

• f(x) = 5.57x + 25.05

• f(x) = -5.57x + 25.05

• f(x) = 5.57x - 25.05
