Reference

The Linear Regression Calculator uses the following formulas:

The equation of a simple linear regression line (the line of best fit) is y = mx + b,

Slope m: m = (n*∑xi yi - (∑xi)*(∑yi)) / (n*∑xi2 - (∑xi)2)

Intercept b: b = (∑yi - m*(∑xi)) / n

Mean x: x̄ = ∑xi / n

Mean y: ȳ = ∑yi / n

Sample correlation coefficient r: r = (n*∑xiyi - (∑xi)(∑yi)) / Sqrt([n*∑xi2 - (∑xi)2][n*∑yi2 - (∑yi)2])

-1 < r < +1

Where:

n  is the total number of samples,

xi (x1, x2, ... ,xn) are the x values,

yi (y1, y2, ... ,yn) are the y values,

∑xi  is the sum of x values,

∑yi  is the sum of y values,

∑xi yi  is the sum of products of x and y values,

∑xi2  is the sum of squares of x values,

∑yi2  is the sum of squares of y values.
