Prior to being hired, the five salespersons for a computer store were given a standard sales aptitude test. For each individual, the score achieved on the aptitude test and the number of computer systems sold during the first 3 months of their employment are shown here.

Determine the least-squares regression line and interpret its slope. Estimate, for a new employee who scores 60 on the sales aptitude test, the number of units the new employee will sell in her first 3 months with the company.
