Khan Academy: Proof (Pt 3) Minimizing Squared Error to Regression Line

Curated by ACT

Video is the fourth of five related videos about deriving the formula for the least squares regression line. This video shows using partial derivatives and setting them equal to 0 to get closer to deriving the formula for m and b. It explains and shows visually what the partial derivatives represent as far as points on the best fitting line. [10:54]
