An auto manufacturing company wanted to investigate how the price of one of its car models depreciates with age. The research department at the company took a sample of eight cars of this model and collected the following information on the ages (in years) and prices (in hundreds of dollars) of these cars.
Find the least squares regression line equation in the form y^=a+bx. Use "Age" as the independent variable and "Price" as the dependent variable.
Round your answers to four decimal places.
y^=_____+(______)x
