Expert Solution
Step 1

Suppose we are given a straight line

y=a+bx

, then we say that the line passes through the point (x0, y0 ), if and only if:

a+bx0 = y0 is satisfied.

In our case, we need to show that the line of regression always passes through (x,y), 

First recall the equation of least squares is given by:

y-ycov(x,y)σx2(x-x),  where cov(x,y) is the covariance between X and Y, and σx2 is the variance of X
