Use Equations (3.5) and (3.6) to estimate the coefficients of the line y = ax + b such that the sum of the squared deviations between the line and the following data points is minimized.

a.

b.

c.

For each problem, compute D and d_max to bound _cmax. Compare the results to your solutions to Problem 2 in Section 3.2.
