Variable Statistical Data
Under “Plotting a Scatter Diagram,” we displayed a scatter diagram and then per-
formed a logarithmic regression calculation. Let’s use the same procedure to look at
the six regression functions.

k Linear Regression Graph
Linear regression plots a straight line that passes close to as many data points as
possible, and returns values for the slope and y -intercept (y-coordinate when x = 0)
of the line.
The graphic representation of this relationship is a linear regression graph.
