1. Find the equation of the regression line for the given data. then construct A SCATTER PLOT of the data and draw the regression line. (each pair of variables has a significant correlation.) then use the regression equation to predict the value of y for each of the given x- values, if meaningful. the caloric content and the sodium content(in milligrams) for 6 beef ho dogs are shown in the table below.
