The correct formula for a multiple regression with two predictor variables is Ŷ = a + b1X1 + b2X2, where Ŷ is the predicted value, a is the intercept, b1 and b2 are the coefficients for the predictor variables X1 and X2, respectively. Option C is the closest representation of this formula, despite the unusual symbols.
