plot of points is shown with the line of best fit that we drew and a computer generated line of best fit

n = 11 tells you how many data points are being used.

r = 0.975 tells you how good of a fit the line is.  You may also see this written as r2.  The closer you are to 1 (positive correlation) or –1 (negative correlation), the better the line is to the data.
