the Credit Balance (X) we saw that there is a strong positive slope, meaning that customers who carry a larger credit balance usually will also have higher income as shown in the best-fit line. For linear regression equation we have the following; Income ($1000) = -3.51589 + 0.0119264 Credit Balance($). From this, we can see the B0= -3.51589, which is also the Y intercept, while B1 is 0.0119264 is the slope for this variable. The coefficient of correlation and the coefficient of determination both showed a positive strong relationship between the two variable of Credit Balance (X) and Income (Y).
