Formulating a equation for the line of best fit for two sets of variables allows us describe a relationship between the two variables expressed in the form of a linear equation of the form.
y = a+bx
The most common method for this approximation is the least square method, where:
This enables forecasting values of dependent variable(y) in terms of the independent variable(x).
