<p>To perform linear regression, the calculator uses the least<a>squares</a>method to find the best-fit line. The equation<a>of</a>the line is given by: y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope indicates the change in y for a unit change in x, and the y-intercept is the value of y when x is zero.</p>
