Y Intercept & Starting point

Mean Absolute Error is the average difference between actual and predicted y values, ignoring negative signs. It provides a measure of how close a modeling line is to your actual data.
To find the mean absolute error of a graph, you must first find the vertical distances of each point from the line of the graph. You then simply find the arithmetic average of all of these differences. An example is given below for practice. The first two rows have been comleted. Finish the problem! (Did you get 1.4??)
