1. What Is Linear Regression?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Linear Regression is a mathematical model used to predict a continuous value. It finds the straight-line relationship between independent variables (inputs) and a dependent variable (output). The idea is simple: if X increases, how does Y change?<\/p>\n

In its basic form, the model fits a line to the data:<\/p>\n
