Consider the points (1, 4), (3, 6), (5, 4). (A) Write down an inconsistent system for finding a and b such that y = ax + b passes through all 3 points. (B) Write down a consistent system for finding a and b such that y = ax + b is the least squares best fit for the points. For both (A) and (B), set up, but don't solve the relevant systems of equations.
