Answer:
y = -2.8x +69.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2-point form of the equation of a line can be used to find the equation of the line through points (3, 61) and (13, 33). The general form of it is ...
y = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)·(x -x1) +y1
For the given points, this is ...
y = (33 -61)/(13 -3)·(x -3) +61
y = -28/10(x -3) +61
y = -2.8x +69.4 . . . . . the equation of the line through the given points

Comment on the problem
A "line of best fit" is one that minimizes some measure of deviation from the line. Usually, what is minimized is the square of the deviations. Choosing two points to draw the line through may be convenient, but does not necessarily result in a line of best fit.
