# Linear Regression **Linear regression** is a statistical method that models the relationship between a dependent variable (y) and one or more independent variables (x) by fitting a linear equation to observed data. The simplest form is: **y = mx + b** where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. ## Worked Example **Problem:** A coffee shop notices that sales depend on temperature. Given this data, predict sales at 25°C. | Temperature (°C) | Sales ($) | |-----------------|-----------| | 10 | 200 | | 20 | 350 | | 30 | 500 | **Solution:** 1. **Find the slope (m):** - m = (change in y) / (change in x) - m = (500 - 200) / (30 - 10) = 300/20 = **15** 2. **Find the intercept (b):** - Using point (10, 200): 200 = 15(10) + b - b = 200 - 150 = **50** 3. **The equation is:** y = 15x + 50 4. **Predict sales at 25°C:** - y = 15(25) + 50 = 375 + 50 = **$425** **Interpretation:** For every 1°C increase in temperature, sales increase by $15.
