Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the regression equation, Y is the dependent variable as it is the variable being predicted or estimated based on the independent variable X. The slope (β) and y-intercept (α) are the parameters of the equation that determine the relationship between X and Y. The independent variable (X) is the variable that is believed to be the cause or predictor of changes in the dependent variable (Y).
