Great work! Let’s review the concepts before you move on:

• Multiple Linear Regression uses two or more variables to make predictions about another variable:
$y = b + m_{1}x_{1} + m_{2}x_{2} + ... + m_{n}x_{n}$
• Multiple linear regression uses a set of independent variables and a dependent variable. It uses these variables to learn how to find optimal parameters. It takes a labeled dataset and learns from it. Once we confirm that it’s learned correctly, we can then use it to make predictions by plugging in new x values.
• We can use scikit-learn’s LinearRegression() to perform multiple linear regression.
• Residual Analysis is used to evaluate the regression model’s accuracy. In other words, it’s used to see if the model has learned the coefficients correctly.
• Scikit-learn’s linear_model.LinearRegression comes with a .score() method that returns the coefficient of determination R² of the prediction. The best score is 1.0.

### Instructions

We have made an applet using the multiple linear regression model that you built! Have fun!
