e =

Answer 1

Answer:

ε₀= 0.035

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is on residual/ error which is the vertical distance between the actual value of y and the estimated value of y.

General formulae is;

ε₀= y₀ - y₁

From the graph attached, the point on the line y=5x+2  is (5.407,29.035)

ε₀= 29.035- 29.000

ε₀= 0.035
