Default Can I create a line graph based on a formula

I have been doing some regression analysis manually and have worked out a
y=mx+a formula. Is it possible to create a graph based on the fomula rather
than creating a graph cost figures?

My answer is y=4.5x+16.714

Default Can I create a line graph based on a formula

Put some text in A1 and B1 (example : X and Y )
Put some x-values in A2:A20 or more
In B2 use =4.5*A2+16.714
Copy down to B20 (or more)
Select A1:B20 and use Chart Wizard to make XY chart
best wishes

The answer is, yes you can, but in general it's far easier (and easier to
understand and debug) to use the approach which Bernard has suggested.
