Answer:

The residual is 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the residual is the VERTICAL distance between the y-value of the  data point and the y-value of the predicted line. This distance can be calculated using the absolute value of the difference between these y-values.

Therefore, in our case the residual is: |32 - 32.75| = |-0.75| = 0.75
