amamed213 i think B is not an assumption. the modele don't require a linear relationship between the dependant variable and every independant variable. Can someone explain more ?
Adi8232 If there is not a linear relationship between the dependent variable(Y) and ANY independent Variable(say X3) then why will you use that X3 in the equation, because you want value of Y and adding some non related will be useless (ex. Car mileage(Y) and number of candidates passing CFA L2(X)), will you use Y= a + bX?
Mikehuynh Hi amanmed213,

Just need to remember that we are talking about linear regression
