Linear regression looks at the relationship between two variables, X and Y.
The regression line is the "best" line though some data you that you or someone else has collected.
You want to find the best slope and the best y intercept to be able to plot the line that will allow you to predict Y given a value of X.
This is usually done by minimizing the sum of the squares.
Regression Equation is y = a + bx
Slope(b) = (NΣXY - (ΣX)(ΣY)) / (NΣX2 - (ΣX)2)
Intercept(a) = (ΣY - b(ΣX)) / N
In the equation above:
X and Y are the variables given as an ordered pair (X,Y)
b = The slope of the regression line
a = The intercept point of the regression line and the y axis.
N = Number of values or elements
X = First Score
Y = Second Score
ΣXY = Sum of the product of first and Second Scores
ΣX = Sum of First Scores
ΣY = Sum of Second Scores
ΣX2 = Sum of square First Scores
Once you find the slope and the intercept, you plot it the same way you plot any other line!

Least squares regression is one of several statistical techniques that could be applied.
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.

Linear Regression is a method to generate a "Line of Best fit" yes you can use it, but it depends on the data as to accuracy, standard deviation, etc. there are other types of regression like polynomial regression.

It guarantees that the slope and intercept are minimized.
Not necessarily. In a scatter plot or regression they would not.

(mean x, mean y) is always on the regression line.
