The table shows the minimum wage rates for the United States during different years. A) Write the least squares regression equation that models the data. Let x = time in years since 1900 and let y = minimum hourly wage. B) Use the equation to estimate the minimum hourly wage of a U. S. worker in 2025. Show your work. ( Look at the picture for graph and Answer A and B also). Will Mark Brainliest if correct. ​

y = 0.126X - 7.119

8.63

Step-by-step explanation:

X = year, we subtract the year in the data from 1900 ;

So for the years we have :

78,79,80,90,91,96,97,107,108,109

Using technology to fit the data above, the regression model obtained is ;

y = 0.126X - 7.119

Where x = years

y = minimum hourly wage

The minimum hourly wage in 2025

Year = x = 2025 - 1900 = 125 years

y = 0.126(125) - 7.119

y = 8.631

Predicted Minimum hourly wage = 8.63

you first to choose the points and then move from then as the slope you have

step-by-step explanation:

a'(12.5,11.25)

slope=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
