Question 1

What is the formula for a linear regression equation?

  • y = mx + c
  • y = a + bx
  • y = ax^2 + bx + c

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the basic formula we discussed in class.

Question 2

True or False: If the slope is negative, it indicates that as x increases, y also increases.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how slope reflects the direction of change in y based on x.
