Developing a linear regression equation requires calculating the slope (b) and ______.
A) the X intercept
B) the value of t
C) the value of m
D) the Y-intercept (a)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To develop a linear regression equation, we need to determine the slope (b) and the Y-intercept (a). The equation takes the form Y = a + bX, where X is the independent variable, Y is the dependent variable, a is the Y-intercept, and b is the slope. Therefore, the correct option is D, the Y-intercept.
