Chart and Regression analysis : What does the intercept predict?  X: C16 (number of cars on the sales lot) versus Y: C17 (cars sold per day) Equation: y=2.9x + 14.5 Slope:2.9 Intercept:14.5 Does the intercept mean the intercept is 14.5 means that the cars sold per day( Y) predicted number of cars on sale lot(X) to be 14.5, but this intercept has no meaning. So, I will not use to predict cars sold per day?
