Find the Equation of the Regression Line by Letting Row

Essay

Find the equation of the regression line by letting Row 1 represent the x-values and Row 2 represent the
y-values. Now find the equation of the regression line letting Row 2 represent the x-values and Row 1
represent the y-values. What effect does switching the explanatory and response variables have on the
regression line? $$\begin{array} { l | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | c } \text { Row 1 } & - 5 & - 3 & 4 & 1 & - 1 & - 2 & 0 & 2 & 3 & - 4 \\\hline \text { Row 2 } & - 10 & - 8 & 9 & 1 & - 2 & - 6 & - 1 & 3 & 6 & - 8\end{array}$$
