Question 760665: Where do you find the coefficients readout? Is this in excel? I am really confused. I have a problem where I have potted points in a scatter plot and created a best fit line. Now it tells me to go to the coefficients readout to get some information so I can continue. However, I don't know where one would find a coefficients readout.

==============================
Example: If you run a linear recursion program the output
will include the coeffiencients for the least-squares equation.
y = ax + b
a and b are the coefficients.
a is the slope ; b is the y-intercept
