Fitting a Line to Data To find the least squares regression line y = ax + b for a set of points
\(\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right),\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right), \ldots,\left(x_{n}, y_{n}\right)\)
you can solve the following system for a and b.
\(\left\{\begin{array}{r}n b+\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_{i}\right) a=\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} y_{i}\right) \\ \left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_{i}\right) b+\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_{i}^{2}\right) a=\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_{i} y_{i}\right) \end{array}\right.\)
In Exercises 85–88, the sums have been evaluated. Solve the given system for a and b to find the least squares regression line for the points. Use a graphing utility to confirm the results.
\(\left\{\begin{array}{r} 5 b+10 a=11.7 \\ 10 b+30 a=25.6 \end{array}\right. \)
