Need some help
So I am supposed to write a code that does the following below. I am in a beginners C++ course and am looking for help in terms of starting. I do not want anyone to write the code down, but a few step by step instructions would be great on where to go with it!!
Many properties in engineering and science can be analyzed by trying to fit a straight line which uses x as the independent variable and y as the dependent variable. You have an array of x values and a corresponding array of y values. Create the process to fit a straight line to the data. Using the y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept, m can be calculated by the formula
(Σx * Σy - n Σ(x * y))/((Σx)2 – n Σ(x)2 )
where n is the number points and b is given by
(Σy – slope * Σx)/n
where n is again the number of points.

How would you solve the problem with your head, paper and a pencil?
Write down each step and then go back and try to write code for each step.

If you don't know know how to solve the problem on paper, then your never going to get it in a program. Learn how to do it on paper first.
