Least squares regression line basics

In order to earn a little extra money, Anna set up a lemonade stand on her block over the summer. Suspecting that there might be a relationship between the temperature and the amount of lemonade she sells, Anna recorded the day’s high temperature and the number of cups of lemonade she sold for 1010 days. After plotting her results, Anna noticed that the relationship between her two variables appeared fairly linear, so she used technology to calculate the equation of the least-squares regression line.
The figure below shows the computer regression output.
