Linear regression helps us predict score of a variable X from the scores on other variables Y. When the variables Y are plotted, linear regression finds the best-fitting straight line through the points. The best-fitting line is called a regression line. +This is done by taking a line equation and comparing it with the points and the required result and then calibrated in such a way that the difference/distance between the points and the line, or simply error, is kept to the minimum. This way of calibrating is called Least Squared Error method. -Online linear regression simulator +[Online linear regression simulator](https://www.mladdict.com/linear-regression-simulator) In Python: ```py
