In a previous post I claimed that the x-s in the graph below represent
the regression line (of x1 on x2, though I did not specify that
explicitly). Assuming that each symbol represent a datapoint, than this
is a mistake. It is a minor point, and does not change the point I made
in that previous post.

Does anybody else see my mistake? (maybe a nice exam question?)

  |      *x*
  |    **x**
  |   **x**  
x1|  **x** 
  | **x**
  |**x**
  |*x* 
  --------------- 
        x2
