In estimating a linear relationship using ordinary least squares (OLS), the regression estimates are such that the sums of squares of the residuals are minimised. This method treats all residuals as being as important as others.There may be reasons why the treatment of all residuals in the same way may not be appropriate. One possibility is that there is reason to believe that there is a systematic trend in the size of the error term (residual). One way to compensate for such heteroscedasticity is to give less weight to the residual when the residual is expected to be larger. So, in the regression calculations, rather than minimise the sum of squares of the residuals, what is minimised is their weighted sum of squares.
Yes, it is.
The graph and accompanying table shown here display 12 observations of a pair of variables (x, y).The variables x and y are positively correlated, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.97.What is the slope, b, of the least squares regression line, y = a + bx, for these data? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.2.04 - 2.05

It is often called the "Least Squares" line.

No, it is not resistant.It can be pulled toward influential points.

Yes, it is.
the negative sign on correlation just means that the slope of the Least Squares Regression Line is negative.
Suppose you have two variables X and Y, and a set of paired values for them. You can draw a line in the xy-plane: say y = ax + b. For each point, the residual is defined as the observed value y minus the fitted value: that is, the vertical distance between the observed and expected values. The least squares regression line is the line which minimises the sum of the squares of all the residuals.
Quantile regression is considered a natural extension of ordinary least squares. Instead of estimating the mean of the regressand for a given set of regressors, and instead of minimizing sum of squares, it estimates different values of the regressand across its distribution, and minimizes instead the absolute distances between observations.
There are two regression lines if there are two variables - one line for the regression of the first variable on the second and another line for the regression of the second variable on the first. If there are n variables you can have n*(n-1) regression lines. With the least squares method, the first of two line focuses on the vertical distance between the points and the regression line whereas the second focuses on the horizontal distances.
Least squares regression is one of several statistical techniques that could be applied.
