Linear regression is a supervised machine learning technique where we train a ML algorithm on labeled datasets. Basically, it is a statistical model that identifies the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Here, we predict the target value based on input variables. The linear regression model finds the best-fit line for our model.



The hypothesis for linear regression is defined as:

y = m*x + c



  • y: output variable

  • m : gradient

  • x : input variable

  • c : intercept
