Question:

Using the same approach as was employed to derive Eqs. (17.15) and (17.16), derive the least-squares fit of the following model:

y = α1 x + e

That is, determine the slope that results in the least-squares fit for a straight line with a zero intercept. Fit the following data with this model and display the result graphically:
