Math Problem Statement

On most days Ernesto takes his lunch break in the park near his office. While sitting on the park bench, he scatters seeds for the pigeons and wonders how many pigeons will come. He decided to keep track of both the number of seed packages he scatters for the pigeons, x, and the number of pigeons that come, y. The least squares regression line of this data set is: y=2.829x+13.328 Complete the following sentence: If Ernesto scattered one additional seed package, the least squares regression line predicts that additional pigeons would come.
