Suppose measurements of y versus x give three points in the x-y plane with coordinates (0,6), (1,0), (2,0). (a) Show that there is no straight line that intersects all three points. (b) Find the linear function y = c0 + c1x that best fits this data in the least squares sense, by finding the coefficients c0, c1 using the method of least squares. (c) Show that the solution is the best possible in the sense that it minimizes the length of the residual.
