The independent variable is the variable that is hypothesized to affect the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of a simple linear regression model is to estimate the slope of the line that best fits the data. The slope of the line is the coefficient of the independent variable.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, in a simple linear regression model, you need to estimate one coefficient, which is the coefficient of the independent variable.<\/p>\n<p>Option B is incorrect because it estimates two coefficients.
