regression questions: predicted ave number of fish caught if there are 12 fishermen

[ryanj2000]

Hey.. I need some help on a couple problems.

Starts with a table

Number of Fishermen : 10 , 15 , 8 , 20, 5 , 17
Average number of fish caught : 8.1 , 6.2 , 9.6 , 3.4 , 11.3 , 5.8

Question 1: What is the predicted average number of fish caught if there are 12 fisherman on the shores?
Question 2:On a day when there were 18 fisherman on the shores, the residual was 1.6, what was the average number of fish caught that day/
Question 3: Interpret the slope in context

Help would be great, thanks!
