If the data set and regression line are not ideally
positioned, Press

and select Autoscale.

Autoscale can be relied upon to give a good starting
scale which can then be adjusted later in the Plot

Tracing a scatter

plot

The figures below the plot
indicate that the cursor is
at the second data point of
S1, at ((1, 920). Press

information about it.

Tracing a curve

If the regression line is not showing, tap

. The

coordinates of the tracer cursor are shown at the bottom
of the screen. (If they are not visible, tap

.)

Press

to see the

equation of the
regression line in
Symbolic view.

If the equation is too wide
for the screen, select it

The example above shows that the slope of the regression
line (m) is 425.875 and the y-intercept (b) is 376.25.

the scatter plot or fit you wish to trace. For each active
analysis (S1–S5), the tracing order is the scatter plot first
and the fit second. So if both S1 and S2 are active, the
tracer is by default on the S1 scatter plot when you press
