Yes--and if you're using the InstantCert flashcards you'll see mention of it in there as well. One of the most frustrating things about studying for the DSST Statistics test is that not everyone uses the same variables. Most of the important, common ones are the same, but not line regression. I remembered it as y=mx+b--but some use an "a" instead of the "m" and some use "a" for the y-intercept and others use "b". Just remember that whichever variable stands alone in that equation is the y-intercept and remember which one your calculator considers the y-intercept. Good luck!
