The gradient of the regression line x on y is 0.2 and the line passes through ( 0 , 3 ). If the equation of the line is x = c + d y, find the value of c and d.

We have y = x d c d , thus 1 d = 0.2 and d = 5. Now plugging in ( 0 , 3 ) yields 3 = 0 5 c 5 = c 5 , thus c = 15. The line you are using is of the form x = c + d y, but to use your standard method you want to work with a line of the form y = a x + b, and thus you have to first rewrite x = c + d y to an equation where 𝑦 is the variable on the left hand side.

The gradient show the slope as Δ y Δ x . Note that your equation is not y = a x + b but x = c + d y. Rewrite first equation as x = 1 a y b a Therefore if you are given a = 0.2, you get d = 1 a = 1 0.2 = 5
