Simple linear regression is one of the most often used tools for prediction of relationships between an independent and dependent variable. The regression formula provides a mechanism for predicting the value of a dependent variable for a given independent variable. Since it is a linear model, the important parameters or constants are the y-intercept,a, and the slope of the line,b(y = a + bx). Ifa= -6 andb= 14, which of the following statements is true? (Select one statement)

Ifx= 5,y= 70

Ify= 64,x= 5

if x =10, y < 134

amust always be >b
