The above values are from a group of numbers correlating two blood analyzers. I know the R value is how closely the correlation is between the two groups of numbers. My question is, what does the slope and intercept value actually tell me? What number should I be looking for that shows a close correlation? I know the definition of slope and intercept, but I don't know what it actually tells me. Thanks
