A recent graduate moving to a new job collected a sample of the monthly rent (in dollars) and the size (in square feet) of 3-bedroom apartments in one area of a city. Use Excel to find the best fit linear regression equation, where size of the apartment is the explanatory variable. Round the slope and intercept to two decimal places.
