The following are sample data provided by a moving company on the weights of six shipments, the distances they are moved, and the damage that was incurred:

(a) Fit an equation of the form \(y=\beta_{0}+\beta_{1} x_{1}+\beta_{2} x_{2}\).

(b) Use the equation obtained in part (a) to estimate the damage when a shipment weighing 2,400 pounds is moved 1,200 miles.
