  2. Y-intercept - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-intercept

    Graph = with the -axis as the horizontal axis and the -axis as the vertical axis.The -intercept of () is indicated by the red dot at (=, =).. In analytic geometry, using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents a variable and the vertical axis represents a variable , a -intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects the -axis of ...

  3. Security market line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_market_line

    The Y-intercept of the SML is equal to the risk-free interest rate. The slope of the SML is equal to the market risk premium and reflects the risk return tradeoff at a given time: : = + [()] where: E(R i) is an expected return on security

  4. Arrhenius plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhenius_plot

    When plotted in the manner described above, the value of the y-intercept (at = / =) will correspond to ⁡ (), and the slope of the line will be equal to /. The values of y-intercept and slope can be determined from the experimental points using simple linear regression with a spreadsheet .

  5. Inverse demand function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_demand_function

    The marginal revenue function is the first derivative of the total revenue function or MR = 120 - Q. Note that in this linear example the MR function has the same y-intercept as the inverse demand function, the x-intercept of the MR function is one-half the value of the demand function, and the slope of the MR function is twice that of the ...

  6. Security characteristic line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_characteristic_line

    The SCL is plotted on a graph where the Y-axis is the excess return on a security over the risk-free return and the X-axis is the excess return of the market in general. The slope of the SCL is the security's beta, and the intercept is its alpha. [2]

  7. Regression analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_analysis

    The researchers' goal is to estimate the function (,) that most closely fits the data. To carry out regression analysis, the form of the function f {\displaystyle f} must be specified. Sometimes the form of this function is based on knowledge about the relationship between Y i {\displaystyle Y_{i}} and X i {\displaystyle X_{i}} that does not ...

  8. Linear function (calculus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_function_(calculus)

    The y-intercept point (,) = (,) corresponds to buying only 4 kg of sausage; while the x-intercept point (,) = (,) corresponds to buying only 2 kg of salami. Note that the graph includes points with negative values of x or y , which have no meaning in terms of the original variables (unless we imagine selling meat to the butcher).

  9. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    Vertical line of equation x = a Horizontal line of equation y = b. Each solution (x, y) of a linear equation + + = may be viewed as the Cartesian coordinates of a point in the Euclidean plane. With this interpretation, all solutions of the equation form a line, provided that a and b are not both zero. Conversely, every line is the set of all ...
