What is Linear Regression?

Linear regression finds the straight line that best predicts y from x by minimising the sum of squared vertical distances to the data points. The slope is how much y changes per unit of x, and the intercept is where the line crosses x = 0.

How it works

One pass over the paired data produces every sum needed, so the slope, intercept, correlation and R² are all read from the same numbers. The fitted line is drawn over the points on the shared coordinate plane, which is the quickest way to see whether a straight line is even appropriate.
