Answer:
y=-11.88x-39.93
Step-by-step explanation:
Plot the data
[tex]\begin{array}{cc}x&y\\-3&-5\\-2&-17\\-1&-26\\1&-51\\2&-65\end{array}[/tex]
on the coordinate plane using graphing calculator. Then use linear approximation y=ax+b and determine that a=-11.88, b=-39.93.
The line that best fits these data is
[tex]y=-11.88x-39.93.[/tex]
