1 Brush salmon fillets on both sides with 1/4 cup butter, and sprinkle evenly with the cayenne pepper mixture. 2  Drizzle one side of each fillet with 1/2 remaining butter. 3  In a large, heavy skillet over high heat, cook salmon, butter side down, until blackened, 2 to 5 minutes.

The intercept (often labeled the constant) is the expected mean value of Y when all X=0. Start with a regression equation with one predictor, X. If X sometimes = 0, the intercept is simply the expected mean value of Y at that value. If X never = 0, then the intercept has no intrinsic meaning. In scientific research, the purpose of a regression model is to understand the relationship between predictors and the response. If so, and if X never = 0, there is no interest in the intercept.
The slope-intercept form is simply the way of writing the equation of a line so that the slope (steepness) and y-intercept (where the line crosses the vertical y-axis) are immediately apparent. Often, this form is called y = mx + b form. This form of a line is one of the most commonly used in algebra classes.
