2x + y = 6

Answer 1

or rather, find the best fit line :)

Answer 3

yes, to a point. but apparently it can be solved as a practice in least squares method.

Answer 4

if i read legendre correctly

Answer 5

"If there are the same number of equations as unknowns x, y, z, &c., there is no difficulty in determining the unknowns, and the error E can be made absolutely zero. But more often the number of equations is greater than that of the unknowns, and it is impossible to do away with all the errors." - Legendre
