The equation of the linear function that best fits the data is,

y = 18.66x + 66.87.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of best is of the form: y = mx + b.

Here, m = slope of the line and b = intercept.

The formula to compute the intercept and slope are:

Consider the table below for the values of ∑ X, ∑ Y, ∑ X² and ∑ XY.

Compute the value of  intercept and slope as follows:

The line of best fit is:

Thus, the equation of the linear function that best fits the data is y = 18.66x + 66.87.
