Simple Linear Regression models the relationship between two variables using a straight line.

\[ Y = \beta_0 + \beta_1 X + \varepsilon \]

Where:
- \(Y\) is the response variable
- \(X\) is the explanatory variable
- \(\beta_0\) is the intercept
- \(\beta_1\) is the slope
- \(\varepsilon\) is the error term —
