Oppiskele Challenge: Fitting a Line with Gradient Descent

A student is exploring how to use gradient descent to fit a straight line to a small dataset. The dataset shows years of experience versus salary (in thousands), and the goal is to find the best-fitting line using an iterative update rule.

Your task is to adjust the slope ( $m$ **) and intercept ( $b$ ) so that the line closely follows the data points.

The expression you are trying to minimize is:

\frac{1}{n}\sum^n_{i=1}(y_i - (mx_i + b))^2

The gradient descent update rules for minimizing this function are:

m \larr m - \alpha \frac{\partial J}{\partial m} \\[6 pt] b \larr b - \alpha \frac{\partial J}{\partial b}

Where:

$\alpha$ is the learning rate (step size);
$\frac{\partial J}{\partial m}$ is the partial derivative of the loss function with respect to $m$ ;
$\frac{\partial J}{\partial b}$ is the partial derivative of the loss function with respect to $b$ .

This loss measures how far off your predicted points are from the actual data. (P.S. Smaller values mean the line fits the data better.)

In order to find values $m$ and $b$ , use gradient descent.
