How to take draw an average line for a scatter plot

My data is the following:

x = [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,9]
y = [6,5,4,3,2,1,1,2]

And I can obtain the following two graphs.

Is it possible in matplotlib? Or do I have to change the list manually and somehow create:

RELEVANT CODE

ax.plot(x, y, 'o-', label='curPerform')
x1,x2,y1,y2 = ax.axis()
x1 = min(x) - 1 
x2 = max(x) + 1
ax.axis((x1,x2,(y1-1),(y2+1)))
