squares algorithm to find the best fit line for a given set of data points (`x` and
`y`).
1. The `numpy` library is imported to work with arrays and perform linear algebra
calculations.
2. The `least_squares` function is defined with two parameters (`x` and `y`) which
represent the independent and dependent variables respectively.
3. The `x` and `y` input arrays are converted to numpy arrays using `np.array()`.
4. The `A` matrix is constructed using numpy's `vstack()` and `T` functions. It is
created by vertically stacking `x` and an array of ones (for the intercept term),
and then transposing it.
7. Finally, the `m` and `c` values are returned from the function.
8. The `x` and `y` arrays are defined with sample data.
9. The `least_squares` function is called with `x` and `y`, and the slope (`m`) and
intercept (`c`) values are assigned to the variables.
10. The slope and intercept values are printed using an f-string.
