First we have to draw a graph by then we can observethat this graph shows a straight line. So we have tofit a strainght line
Y= a+bX
where y is the scrap in tons and X is the years, take years as 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 then
1211212424843339994541801656528025
total
1701561955
we know that the normal equations for straight line are
