Finding the Equation of a Regression Line In Exercises 1726, find the equation of the regression line for the data. Then construct a scatter plot of the data and draw the regression line. (Each pair of variables has a significant correlation.) Then use the regression equation to predict the value of y for each of the x-values, if meaningful. If the x-value is not meaningful to predict the value of y, explain why not. If convenient, use technology.High-Fiber Cereals: Caloric and Sugar Content The caloric contentsand the sugar contents (in grams) of 11 high-fiber breakfast cereals (Source:Consumer Reports) Calories, x 140 200 160 170 170 190Sugar, y 6 9 6 9 10 17 Calories, x 190 210 190 170 160Sugar, y 13 18 19 10 10(a) x = 150 calories (b) x = 90 calories(c) x = 175 calories (d) x = 208 calories
