The regression coefficient is obtained by dividing the standard deviation of the dependent variable by the standard deviation of the independent variable and multiplying the quotient by the coefficient of correlation. The regression coefficient defines the slope of the regression line(illustrating the relationship between the two variables). 3, record 1, English, - regression%20coefficient

The general equation for a straight [regression] line is Y=a+bX. The constant a is the value of Y obtained when X=O, so that Y=a+B(0)=a. This is the value for Y at which the line intersects the Y axis, so that a may be referred to as the Y intercept. The constant b is the slope of the line. It represents the change in Y due to a one-unit increase in the value of X. 1, record 4, English, - slope
