DEFINITION
L NEAR 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.
L NEAR REGRESSION
● The slope and the y-intercept define a linear
relationship between two variables and can
be used to estimate an average rate of
change.
● The sign of the slope (b) is used to identify
the trend or direction of relationship between
the dependent and independent variable.

ACTIVITY #2
Direction: Using the activity
sheet, arrange the steps in
finding the slope and y-intercept
of the regression line from a
given set of data.
Steps in calculating the slope & y-intercept
from a given set of data
STEPS IN CALCULATING THE SLOPE & y-
INTERCEPT FROM A GIVEN SET OF DATA
Make a data table with four columns (x,
1 y, xy, and x2). Note the sample size, n.
List the data for x and y. Multiply x

and y to get xy. Square x to get x2.
Complete the table.
3 Find the sum of x, y, xy, and x2 by
adding the values in each column.

ACTIVITY #3
STEP-BY-STEP CALCULATION!
Direction: In pairs, determine the regression equation given the set of
data below. For uniformity, express your solution and answer to two
decimal places.
Problem: A teacher believes that excellence is a fruit of hard work
and persistence. That’s why she wants to prove if the number of students’
absences is related to their general average. On her gathered data, the
recorded number of absences and general average in the recent semester
are shown on the table below.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
No. of Absences (x) 1 2 3 5 7 9 10
General Average (y) 98 90 86 87 85 85 78

ACTIVITY #4
LEVEL UP!
Direction: In pairs, solve the given problem below.
Problem: The grades of seven students in the
first and second grading periods are shown below.
a. Find the equation of the regression line.
b. Estimate the grade in the second grading period of
student who received a grade of 88 in the first
grading period.
1st GP (x) 80 78 76 82 84 85 75
2nd GP (y) 84 79 75 86 84 77 78
DECODE THE
MESSAGE!
ACTIVITY #5
Direction: In pairs, determine the slope
of the equations provided on their activity
sheet to decode a hidden message. Write
down the corresponding letters to reveal
the hidden message. A representative from
each group will share their decoded
messages with the class.

PREDICTION!
ACTIVITY #6
Direction: Solve the given problem completely. For
uniformity, express your answer in two decimal places.
Problem: An ice cream vendor decided to record the
temperature for one week and the number of gallons of ice cream he
was able to sell. The data he recorded are shown in the table below.
Day 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Temperature in Celsius (x) 31 26 30 29 28 30 25
Number of gallons (y) 10 6 8 6 4 10 4
a. Determine the regression equation.
b. Predict the number of gallons of ice cream that may be sold if the
temperature is 32 degrees Celsius.

ACTIVITY #7
Direction: Please follow the instructions below.
1. Think of any pair of data (x and y) that may appeal to
you (Example: age and number of sleep hours, etc.).
2. Conduct an interview to at least five (5) persons in
your classroom by recording their respective
responses to your chosen data.
3. Present the results in tabular form.
4. Find the corresponding equation of the regression
line.
5. Provide an interpretation of the results.
