S= Σ (yr - kxr)^2 from r=1 to r=5 where r in the yr and xr are subscripts. By expressing S as a quadratic in k, show that, as k varies, S is a minimum when l is L.
The equation y=kx represents a line l through the origin of the scatter diagram. L is the regression line of y on x.
x 0 4 2 1 3
y 3 12 -1 2 14
the above is the table for the values obtained.
