Abstract
In an elementary statistics course, the concept of the least squares regression line is generally introduced via coordinate geometry and basic algebra. This article renders a simple idea to plot the line of least squares by joining two points, namely the center of gravity of the data, commonly known as the sample mean, and another point based on the mean point. It can be introduced comfortably to high school as well as undergraduate students.
