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
