 What I Need to Know

In the previous modules, you’ve learned about independent and dependent variables
and how these variables are related. You also learned about scatter plots that can
help you better understand statistical data. Furthermore, you calculated correlation
coefficient and analyzed existing relationships between variables.

This module will introduce you to concepts about regression analysis and the
regression line. Also, you will master calculating the slope and y-intercept of the
regression line as well as using the computed values to create a regression equation.
Later, you will interpret the calculated slope and y-intercept of the regression line.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. identify the slope and y-intercept from the equation of the regression line;
2. calculate the slope and y-intercept of the regression line; and
3. formulate the equation of the regression line.

Before you proceed to the lesson, make sure to answer first the questions in the next

 Lesson
Slope and Y-Intercept of a
1 Regression Line
One important application of statistics is that it allows us to predict one variable
from other variables. For example, you might want to predict the amount of income
from the number of years spent studying. This can be done through regression
analysis. Regression analysis mathematically describes the relationship between
independent variables and a dependent variable.

In this module, you will start to explore and learn about regression analysis. First,
you need to recall important terms related to regression analysis by answering the
next activity.

What’s In

Jumbled Letters
Based on the given definition, rearrange the letters to form the correct word. Write
your answers on a separate sheet of paper.

1. L S P O E
Shows the steepness of a line and represents the rate of change in
y as x changes

2. R E E I T T N P C
A point where the line crosses or intersects the horizontal or vertical axis

3. N E R A L I
A type of regression that finds the best-fit line to represent a bivariate
data set

4. A N D M I O
The x-values which represent the independent variable

5. Q A E N O I T U
The algebraic expression of a regression line

4 CO_Q4_Statistics and Probability SHS

Module 21
Since you recalled these important words, you are now ready to learn about
regression analysis.

One type of regression is linear regression. Linear regression consists of finding a

best-fitting straight line on a scatter plot of sample data. The slope and y-intercept
of the regression line play an important role in analyzing a set of data. The slope
indicates the steepness of a regression line and the y-intercept indicates the location
where it intersects the y-axis. The slope and the y-intercept define a linear
relationship between two variables and can be used to estimate an average rate of
change.

Now, you will learn how to calculate the slope and y-intercept of the regression line.
Start your progress by answering the next activity.

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that will help you in guiding
the learners.

Module 21
 What’s New

Step Yes, Step Do!

Read the given situation, follow the instructions, and fill in the missing values. Then,
answer the guide questions that follow.

Number of General
A teacher believes that excellence is a Absences (x) Average (y)
fruit of hard work and persistence. 1 1 98
That’s why she wants to prove if the 2 2 90
number of students’ absences is 3 3 86
related to their general average. On 4 5 87
her gathered data, the recorded 5 7 85
number of absences and general 6 9 85
average in the recent semester are 7 10 78
shown on the table.

The teacher decided to use linear equations to describe the relationship of the
two variables. She wants to see if two pairs of points will result in the same or
approximately the same equations since the points came from a similar set of data.
For the two pairs of data, she used the absences and general average of Students 1
and 7 and Students 1 and 4, respectively. Her computations were as follows:

Step 1. Using the given data as points, find the slope (𝑚) using algebraic
method.
Use the points (1, 98) and (10, 78). Use the points (1, 98) and (5, 87).
𝑦2 − 𝑦1 𝑦2 − 𝑦1
𝑚= 𝑚=
𝑥2 − 𝑥1 𝑥2 − 𝑥1
78 − 98 ____ − 98
𝑚= 𝑚=
10 − 1 ____ − 1
−20
𝑚= 𝑚=

𝑚 = −2.22 𝑚 = _____

Step 2. Find the y-intercept using the slope (𝑚), the point (1, 98), and the
slope-intercept form of a line (𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏).
𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏 98 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏
98 = (−2.22)(1) + 𝑏 98 = (_______)(1) + 𝑏
98 = −2.22 + 𝑏 98 = ________ + 𝑏
𝑏 = 98 + 2.22 𝑏 = 98 + _________
𝑏 = 100.22 𝑏 = ___________

Step 3. Write the equation of the line. Substitute the value of 𝑚 and the
value of 𝑏 in 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏.
𝑦 = −2.22𝑥 + 100.22 𝑦 = ________𝑥 + _______

Guide Questions:

1. Compare the slope solved using the points (1, 98) and (10, 78) with the slope
solved using (1, 98) and (5, 87). Are the two slopes equal?

2. Compare the y-intercept solved using the points (1, 98) and (10, 78) with the y-
intercept solved using the points (1, 98) and (5, 87). Are the computed y-intercepts
equal?

3. Are the two equations of the line equal or unequal? Why?

4. Do you think the teacher can describe the relationship of the given variables using
the two equations he just computed? Why?

7 CO_Q4_Statistics and Probability SHS

Module 21
 What is It

In the previous activity, unequal slopes and y-intercepts are solved because two
different pairs of points are used. Since the slopes and y-intercepts are unequal, two
different equations are obtained using the algebraic method.

Whenever there are more than two points of data, it is usually impossible to find one
line that passes through all points. However, a best-fit line that is a good
approximation of the data can usually be found. This best-fit straight line used to
predict the value of y for a given value of x is called the regression line.

For statistics, there is a simpler way to find the equation of the best-fit line. The
equation of the best-fit line is also called equation of the regression line or simply
regression equation.

The equation of the regression line is 𝑦̂ = 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑎

where: 𝑏 = slope of the regression line
𝑎 = y-intercept of the regression line

Examples:
a. 𝑦̂ = 2𝑥 + 3 𝑏 = 2; 𝑎 = 3; The slope is 2 and y-intercept is 3.
𝑥 1 1
b. 𝑦̂ = − 1 𝑏 = ; 𝑎 = −1; The slope is and y-intercept is -1.
2 2 2

As shown in the activity, the slope and y-intercept can be easily determined
from the equation of a regression line.

In real life, however, students need to calculate the slope and y-intercept from
the raw data. The y-intercept and slope can be solved using the step-by-step solution
and formulas for finding the slope and y-intercept.

The steps in calculating the slope and y-intercept from a given set of data are
the following:

Step 1: Make a data table with four columns (x, y, xy, and x2). Note the sample size,
n.

Step 2: List the data for x and y. Multiply x and y to get xy. Square x to get x2.
Complete the table.

Step 3: Find the sum of x, y, xy, and x2 by adding the values in each column.

Step 4: Substitute the solved values into the corresponding formula.

8 CO_Q4_Statistics and Probability SHS

Module 21
 The slope (b) can be calculated using the following formula:

𝑛(∑𝑥𝑦) − (∑𝑥)(∑𝑦)
𝑏=
𝑛(∑𝑥 2 ) − (∑𝑥)2

The y-intercept (a) can be calculated using the following formula:

(∑𝑦) − 𝑏(∑𝑥)
𝑎=
𝑛

Let us solve the given situation in the previous activity (Step Yes, Step Do!) using
these steps.
By doing Steps 1 and 2, you will make this four-column data table.

7 10 78 780 100
∑𝑥 = 37 ∑𝑦 = 609 ∑𝑥𝑦 = 3111 ∑𝑥 2 = 269
From the table of data, you will be able to determine the sum of x, y, xy, and
x2. These are the values that will be substituted into the formula to calculate the
slope and y-intercept.

Therefore, the equation of the regression line is 𝒚

̂ = −𝟏. 𝟒𝟕𝒙 + 𝟗𝟒. 𝟕𝟕.

From the previous activity (Step Yes, Step Do!), we obtained two equations of
the line by using two different pairs of points. Using those steps, you will be able to
determine the slope and y-intercept. Also, you will find the equation of the best-fit
line.
Best-Fit Line

This graph shows the number of absences (x)

and general average (y). The two computed
lines in the previous activity are shown here.
This also shows the best-fit line obtained
from calculating the slope and y- intercept.

By simply looking at the graphs of the lines,

you can see that only one line will be best fit.
That is the line with equation 𝒚
