This calculator will determine the values of b and a for a set of data comprising two variables, and estimate the value of Y for any specified value of X.
The line of best fit is described by the equation ŷ = bX + a, where b is the slope of the line and a is the intercept (i.e., the value of Y when X = 0). This simple linear regression calculator uses the least squares method to find the line of best fit for a set of paired data, allowing you to estimate the value of a dependent variable ( Y) from a given independent variable ( X).
