You are given the following information about variables y and x: y x Dependent Independent Variable Variable 0.0 -1.2 8.2 -2.4 -9.2 6.4 10.3 -0.4 In addition, it is known that the slope of the regression line $b_1 = -4.2$ Use the formula $b_0 = \bar{y} - b_1\bar{x}$ to find the y-intercept for the estimated regression equation; round your answer to two decimal places. Note: do NOT use the spreadsheet function INTERCEPT to solve this problem! Your Answer: Answer
