My guess would be that you had assigned a value to x in your v9
session. Make sure that it has been cleared.

$Version

9.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (November 20, 2012)

Clear[x]

linearregressionY={{-16.4438,-180.545},{-20.4477,-182.192},{-20.283,-182.437},{-20.2559,-182.424},{-19.1476,-182.498},{-20.0728,-181.393},{-20.1681,-181.986}};

lm=LinearModelFit[linearregressionY,x,x]

FittedModel[-174.329+0.38862 x]
