Suppose you have a sample of n points for two variables: (x1, y1), (x2, y2), ... (xn, yn). Without going into various statistical considerations (which are nonetheless important) you can estimate the slope of the 'best' line that can be used to estimate the values of y from the values of x using for formula given for beta-hat in the wikipedia article for simple linear regression.

Is 2x equals 7 in standard form or slope-intercept form?
Standard. You need a linear equation in two variables for slope-intercept form.
What type of graph is used to compare two specific variables?
line graph
How does the slope between two parallel lines compare?
The slope between two parallel lines is identical. This is because parallel lines have the same slope and will never intersect. The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, and when two lines are parallel, they will have the same steepness, resulting in the same slope. Therefore, the slope between two parallel lines will always be equal.
How do you find the constant and slope for direct variation equations?
For a direct variation equation the constant MUST be 0. Then the ratio of a pair of values of the two variables is the slope.
What are the different ways of graphing linear equations in two variables?
slope intercept form, rise over run
