Consider the points (1,3) and (4,4). Find the equation of the line through the origin that the Sum y=mx "best fits" these two points. By best fits, it means of the vertical distances between these points and the line is minized. In the picture bebuy to find the slope m trying to find you are the sum of the lengths of the dotted lines are minized. (Hint: It is actually easier and minize the square equivalent to of the vertical distances.) such that juge of the sums.
