Question

I have these numbers for x axis
1.077
1.155
1.328
1.440
1.562
1.691
1.841

These for y axis

21.53
23.10
26.56
28.79
31.23
33.81
36.82

I got a slope of 26.56 is this right?

Answer 1

You have 7 data points for x and 8 data points for y. I tried to graph these and it didn't come out as a straight line.

Your slope is in the right range, but I don't know for sure (without the complete data) if that would be the best linear fit for the line. It looks about right however.
