Answer:

  (d)  The mean of X, the mean of Y, and the slope

Step-by-step explanation:

A point on the linear regression curve is (mean(x), mean(y)). With that point and the slope, the equation of the line can be found. That equation will reveal the y-intercept.

  y-intercept = mean(y) -slope·mean(x)
