<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

When there is a linear relationship is observed between the variables, we use linear regression predict the relationship between them.

Also, we predict the values for dependent variable by modelling a linear model that best fits the data by drawing a line Y=a+bX, where X is the explanatory variable and Y is the dependent variable.

In other words: The line of best fit is a line through a scatter plot of data points that best describes the relationship between them.

That's why the regression line referred to as the line of best fit.

You can save up money to pay for the computer later, or you can use a credit card to pay for it now.

KiRa [710]

Response:

Personally, I would save up and pay for the computer. If I need the computer right away or for a good reason, yes I will use a credit card to buy the computer.

On the other hand, if I don't need it at the moment, I will save up to buy it later and would probably save anyway because it's easier than stacking up on my credit card depending on how much I use my credit card.

(This was a quickly made response, adjust it anyway you would like and if it doesn't fit the question than it is perfectly OK to not use it!)
