We do not need to know the value of the slope to compute the value of the y-intercept of a regression line.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The y-intercept of a regression line can be computed using the formula $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. Knowing the slope ($m$) is essential to accurately calculate the y-intercept ($b$) from given data points or to adjust the y-intercept based on changes in the slope.
