Find the equation of the regression line by letting Row 1 represent the x- values and Row 2 represent the y- values. Now find the equation of the regression line letting Row 2 represent the x- values and Row 1 represent the y- values. What effect does switching the explanatory and responsive variables have on the regression line?
Row 1: -5 -3 4 1 -1 -2 0 2 3 -4
Row 2: -10 -8 9 1 -2 -6 -1 3 6 -8
Solution:
Regression 1 :
regression line : 2
=> the sign of m is unchanged,but the values of m and b change.
