Question 614533: using the straingt line formul of y-mx+b now predict some future GPA scores. IN the formula (m) is the slope; (x)is the variable that you are looking to use as a predictor; and (b) is the intercept. Predict GPA from the following ACT scores by using the regression equation/straight line formula:
(1) 20
(2) 25
(3) 34
All I have is y=m.20+1.5?

----------------------------------
There is some confusion in your post.
---
Are you saying the (m, GPA) pairs are (1,20),(2,25),(3,34)??
