1. The slope (b) is 0.021, the value is negative because the relation between the Export
price of the Jute (X) is negatively related to the annual export report of Jute from
Bangladesh (Y). This means when the price will increase the export will decrease and
when the price will decrease the export will increase.
From the intercept formula, the amount of (a) is 39.77, which means when the price will
be zero; there will be minimum $39.77 billion of export.

2. Y=a+bx, using regression analysis formula where a=39.77 and b=0.021 the export for
2014 is $ 20.798 billion.
