Fitting YY on XX by least squares gives bYX=2b_{YX} = 2 and intercept 33, so Y=2X+3Y = 2X + 3.

We need the regression line of YY on XX: Y−yˉ=bYX(X−xˉ)Y - \bar{y} = b_{YX}(X - \bar{x}).

With n=5n = 5 and the data X:1,2,3,4,5X: 1,2,3,4,5 and Y:5,7,9,11,13Y: 5,7,9,11,13:

∑X=15,∑Y=45,∑XY=5+14+27+44+65=155,∑X2=55.\sum X = 15,\quad \sum Y = 45,\quad \sum XY = 5+14+27+44+65 = 155,\quad \sum X^2 = 55.

Means: xˉ=155=3\bar{x} = \dfrac{15}{5} = 3, yˉ=455=9\bar{y} = \dfrac{45}{5} = 9.
