Slope of a straight line = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
The method used to calculated the best straight line through a set of data is called linear regression. It is also called the least squares method. I've included two links. I know the wikipedia link is a bit complicated. The slope and intercept are calculated based on "minimum least squares." If I draw a line through the set if points, for every x value in the data set I will have a y value and a predicted y value (y-hat) based on the straight line. The error (E) is this case is the predicted y minus the actual y. Linear regression finds the slope and intercept of the equation that minimizes the sum of the square of the errors. Mathematically this is stated as: Min z = sum (yi - y-hat)^2 To hand calculate a linear regression line wold take some time. The second link that I've included shows how to calculated this using excel.
Yes. If it is not straight, then it is not a line.
it just a straight line
If it is not straight, then it is not a line.
straight line method
AnswerDepreciation measures the decline in the useful economic value of an asset due to use or obsolescence. It can be calculated using the straight line method, sum-of-digits method, double-declining method, unit-of-production method.*****ShaeBest
Straight line depreciation method is that method in which fixed amount of depreciation is charged to all fiscal years in which that asset is used.
Straight line depreciation method is that method in which fixed amount of depreciation is charged to all fiscal years in which that asset is used.
the straight line method
the straight line method and the writtne down method
The formula for a straight line depreciation method is the Cost minus the Salvage Value over the Life in Number of Periods which will equal Depreciation.
Straight line
Straight line method of depreciation is that under which any asset is depreciated in equal amount for every year till salvage value. Formula for straight line method: Depreciation = (Cost price - Salvage Value)/Number of years
The salvage value will always be more in the case of written down value method as compared to straight line method. Presently written down value methods are given importance.
Accelerated depreciation is method in which double rate for depreciation is used as compare to straight line method.
Each coordinate of the midpoint of a straight line segment is the arithmetic mean of the coordinates of the endpoints. So the y-coordinate is (0+15)/2 = 7.5
