Analyze the residual plot

Lindsay created the table below showing the population of fruit flies over the last 10 weeks.[br][br]She estimates that the population of fruit flies can be represented by the equation [math]y = 46x-40[/math]. [br][br]Using residuals, determine if her representation is a good estimate.
