Perform linear regression. What is the linear equation? Round to the nearest whole number.

Plot the two given points on the following graph. Then, connect the two points to form the regression line.

The data points for the graph from the third exam/final exam example are as follows: (1, 5), (2, 7), (2, 6), (3, 9), (4, 12), (4, 13), (5, 18), (6, 19), (7, 12), and (7, 21). Remove the outlier and recalculate the line of best fit. Find the value of ŷ when x = 10.

Use the following information to answer the next five exercises. A random sample of ten professional athletes produced the following data where $x$ is the number of endorsements the player has and $y$ is the amount of money made (in millions of dollars).

$x$	$y$	$x$	$y$
$0$	$2$	$5$	$12$
$3$	$8$	$4$	$9$
$2$	$7$	$3$	$9$
$1$	$3$	$0$	$3$
$5$	$13$	$4$	$10$
