Definitely true, can't have a regression line without it!

I thought the intercept was just a random number, but I guess not!

Wait, is that really how it works? I thought it was more complicated.

Totally agree, it's a basic concept in regression!

That's true, the intercept is where X=0.

I feel like I've seen this concept before, and it seems like the answer should be true, but I can't recall the exact wording from the textbook.

I'm a bit confused about this one. I thought the intercept was just a constant, but does it really mean X has to be 0?

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and it was clear that the intercept is where the line crosses the Y-axis, so I would say it's true.

I think the intercept term is definitely represented by ?o when X = 0, but I'm not 100% sure if that's how it's always phrased in the questions.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question is asking about the regression model, but I'm not totally clear on what the Y-axis intercept is in that context. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Of course it's True! The Y-intercept is the value of Y when X is zero. That's just basic regression 101.

Absolutely! Can't have regression without it.
