One of the Primary Feeds for Beef Cattle Is CornCompute the Least-Squares Regression Line for Predicting the Ribeye Price

One of the primary feeds for beef cattle is corn. The following table presents the average price in dollars for a bushel of corn and a pound of ribeye steak for 10 consecutive months.
$\begin{array}{cc}\hline \text { Corn Price }(\$ / \mathrm{bu}) & \text { Ribeye Price }(\mathrm{S} / \mathrm{lb}) \\\hline 5.76 & 12.56 \\6.45 & 13.97 \\5.70 & 12.07 \\6.17 & 12.52 \\6.61 & 13.51 \\5.89 & 11.97 \\\hline\end{array}$
Compute the least-squares regression line for predicting the ribeye price from the corn pri
