Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In linear regression, the relationship between the two variables is assumed to be linear. This answer is true.

Detailed explanation-2: -The least squares method is the most widely used procedure for developing estimates of the model parameters. For simple linear regression, the least squares estimates of the model parameters 0 and 1 are denoted b0 and b1. Using these estimates, an estimated regression equation is constructed: ลท = b0 + b1x .
