There are many ways, but probably you aren't in a statistics class, but in an algebra class. Step 1 plot all the data points on a coordinate plane graph (x-y graph)

Step 2 estimate a line 'close' to points.

Step 3 use 2 points ON THE LINE (these do not need to be data points)

Step 4 find slope of line using points from step 3

Step 5 use point-slope formula to write the equation.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
